Ambulance drivers stage picket in PE

18 October 2012

DISGRUNTLED Port Elizabeth metro ambulance drivers picketed outside their Korsten headquarters in Lindsay Road yesterday, demanding to be paid overtime and night-shift allowances.

At the same time, their employers threatened to act against drivers without public driver permits (PDP).

The drivers – most of them affiliated to the National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union (Nehawu) – said that for the past six years the employer has been making empty promises and had failed to address their grievances.
