Portland Oregon - I was in Portland during the time mentioned. Portland / Vancouver EMS providers are critical of NEMSA because NEMSA disclaimed the bargaining unit without notifying the Teamsters prior to the disclaim. This allowed a brief window in which AMR was able to implement health care changes unilaterally before the Teamsters could file their signatures with the NLRB. In reality however this is absurd. If the situation were reversed, Teamsters would not have told NEMSA they were going to disclaim prior to doing so. Teamsters supporters were openly bragging they had 50% of the workforce's signatures and were going to file them the next morning to stop the vote on the second contract offer. NEMSA disclaimed prior to the filing of those signatures with the NLRB.
