NSW: Paramedics meet again over pay dispute

The New South Wales ambulance service says it will be business as usual today .. despite
a pay dispute which may spark strike action during APEC.

It says it expects all its officer to perform their duties .. and people should continue
to call triple-0 in an emergency.

But MICHAEL WILLIAMSON .. general secretary of the Health Services Union .. says meetings
with delegates yesterday decided on administrative bans .. which will start at 8am (AEST)
.. and will be discussed again at a mass meeting on Saturday.

He says the mood of members at the meetings was ugly.

The New South Wales government and the union are currently before the state Industrial
Relations Commission.
