This week, Mayor Adams signed a bill into law that requires body armor and safety training for all fire department EMS workers and paramedics. But not all EMS workers think it will solve problems facing their workforce. 

Anthony Almojera is a lieutenant paramedic with the FDNY EMS, and vice-president of AFSCME DC37 Local 3621, the union that represents the New York City Fire Department's EMS officers.

He joined WNYC's Morning Edition host Michael Hill to talk about what he believes EMS workers actually need, in order to be safer on the job.
