Gatineau’s ambulances might not need flashing lights this week after the paramedics’ union decided to redecorate them in garish colours and cartoon figures.

The union is protesting the slow pace of contract negotiations.

Distroscale

Paramedics are still on duty as usual, but they’re turning their vehicles into rolling protest signs.

About 30 ambulances are affected, with different designs on each.

Some have stripes, others splotches in a tie-dyed patterns. One has a Ghostbusters figure with word balloons protesting the labour situation; another says “Pimp my job.”
