You’re right, and I’m angry too.
EMT drivers should be paid more (as well as the Uber/Lyft drivers)!
Comment on Uber and Lyft now required to pay Massachusetts rideshare drivers $32 an hour
errer@lemmy.world 4 months agoWhy do these drivers get paid a 50% higher wage than minimum wage? EMT drivers don’t even get this much

Because part of the time they aren’t being paid at all for their work and a good chunk of that money goes into the vehicle and fuel itself. After accounting for all the unpaid labor hours and expenses, it probably still comes out sub-minimum-wage.

EVERYONE deserves a liveable wage, including the people you mentioned.

That’s what the minimum wage is for.
