The bargaining unit says the city's eight-minute target is not survivable on current staffing.
Members of IAFF Local 43 voted Friday evening to authorize a strike against AMR Multnomah, the private contractor that operates 911 response in Portland, citing what the union called “systemically unrealistic” eight-minute response-time targets.
The vote, 312 to 14, gives the union’s executive board the authority to call a work stoppage at any time after a 72-hour notice.
