The State - News from June 27, 1989

Ambulance workers at two Sacramento companies have agreed not to walk off their jobs until at least midnight tonight in hopes that county officials will intervene. Jim Phillou, a field representative for the Hospital and Health Care Workers Union Local 250, said the emergency medical technicians and paramedics voted “nearly unanimously” to extend the strike deadline. The workers rejected contract offers from Metropolitan Ambulance Co. and Sacramento Ambulance Co., but negotiations were still under way.
