Industrial Action at National Patient Transport (NPT) enters its second week and members still don't have a deal.

Owners, ComfortDelGro (CDC) pay their Patient Transport Officers (PTO) and Ambulance Transport Attendants (ATA) $10-$15 per hour less than PTOs and ATAs employed in the public sector.

Members have been offered 1.4%. Meanwhile, the CDC CEO earns millions in bonuses and NPT reported a 4.9% increase in revenue.

Today is the national day of action where we check in on people and ask them "R U OK?". It's important to let the people in your life know that no matter how they feel or what they are going through they will always be supported and valued.
If they seem more agitated or withdrawn, by starting that conversation you are helping them take the first step towards seeking appropriate treatment.

The Victorian Ambulance Union supports all the great work this organisation does in this area. For further information and resources on how to have those conversations please visit the RUOK website: https://www.ruok.org.au/triple-ok
