Even if he needs state approval to implement it for private employers, he should have the power to implement it for all city employees.

A rookie EMT earns a starting salary of $39,386, or about $18 an hour, compared with $45,196 for a rookie firefighter. After five years, FDNY EMS workers often top out at about $59,000 annually, while firefighters can earn around $110,000.
