The Argentine Federation of Health Workers (FATSA) is actively leading negotiations regarding the salaries of paramedics, ambulance assistants, and other medical emergency workers under the Collective Bargaining Agreement CCT 459/06. This agreement encompasses all workers in companies involved in medical emergencies, home health services, and patient transfers for health purposes. Recent agreements cover salary increases that take effect in late 2025 and early 2026, reflecting the ongoing efforts to address fair compensation for these essential workers.

In the latest negotiations, the last salary agreement between FATSA and the Federation of Medical Emergency and Home Medical Services was reached in November, establishing increases in salary scales for November and December 2025, and January 2026. These increases are critical as they determine the wages that paramedics and ambulance assistants will receive when paid in February 2026. This development speaks to the ongoing challenges faced by healthcare workers in securing adequate pay in line with their responsibilities, particularly in emergency medical services.

The involvement of FATSA, represented by prominent figures such as Héctor Daer, Carlos West Ocampo, and Pedro Borgini, highlights the importance of collective bargaining in advocating for better working conditions and benefits for these health professionals. The agreement's adherence to Law No. 14.250 underscores the legal framework guiding such negotiations, indicating a structured approach to labor rights in the healthcare sector. As negotiations continue, the focus remains on ensuring that the essential services provided by paramedics and ambulance assistants are adequately compensated and recognized by society and the government alike.
