Local 277 Peel Region Paramedics

On May 23, Ambulance Division members and Paramedics will make their case for equity with firefighters and police at the 2008 OMERS Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System spring annual regional meeting at the (click for map) Sheraton Centre (123 Queen Street), Toronto. (click for map)

Paramedics are asking for the right to negotiate retirement at age 60 with full pension – a right already held by firefighters and police. The meeting follows a successful April 17 picket in front of the OMERS offices at 1 University Avenue in Toronto.

Active and retired members are being encouraged to register online to attend the upcoming meeting.

A rally is planned from 0900-1000hrs (specific location to be announced, suffice to say at the Sheraton centre). The meeting is from 1000-1120 hours with an opportunity for questions that are pre-scripted.

If you wish to "sit in" on the meeting, you must register at www.OMERS.com, go to the right side menu, click "Spring Annual Regional Meeting” or see the links below. If you do not register, you will not be permitted in on the meeting.
