> I think you mean the "private EMS lobby". Individual EMTs are equally opposed to most of the legislation being pushed by big EMS companies (notably Prop 11, being voted on today, which is an attempt by AMR to avoid having to comply with meal break rules

Usually, when employees in an industry oppose an initiative, they actually file opposition to it; Prop. 11 was unusual in having no opposing argument filed, which usually only happens with non-controversial proposals.

There is no organized body of workers in the private EMS industry in California. Unions are extremely rare in private EMS.

The group behind Prop 11, Californians for Emergency Preparedness and Safety, is an AMR shell corp. AMR provided all of its funding, and it's CEO, Thomas Wagner, is the CEO of AMR's Western Region operation.
