3/5 🧵 FDNY’s argument is straightforward: costs are up, labor costs are likely rising, and the city wants patients/insurers to absorb more of the bill instead of taxpayers carrying as much of it. This would be the first rate hike since May 2023, and the department is already pricing in expected raises tied to the labor patterns set in other city union contracts — even though EMS workers still don’t have a settled contract.
