More than half of Winnipeg paramedics who responded to a recent union survey said they've been bullied on the job — and nearly two-thirds said they've considered quitting over frustration with how workplace issues are handled. The online survey, which was conducted April 13-29 and had responses from 100 Winnipeg-based paramedics, comes amid escalating tensions between paramedics and firefighters in the joint Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service in recent months. That report was followed by a memo from the United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg union that expressed support for the firefighters involved in the incident. She called some of the findings of a recent union survey of paramedics disappointing. The vast majority of paramedics surveyed also said they don't feel Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman and Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service Chief John Lane have shown leadership and set the right tone in dealing with recent workplace issues.
