A long-running pay dispute between paramedics and the New South Wales (NSW) government is threatening to seriously disrupt services over New Year’s Eve, the busiest night of the year for emergency crews.

The dispute, involving multiple unions, has dragged on for more than eight months, with paramedics seeking between a 25 and 45 percent pay increase which the government says it can’t afford.
