WE WILL NOT BE LEFT BEHIND!
The vast majority of home care workers in Upstate NY are women & people of color - low wages and lack of benefits are a DIRECT result of sexism and racism in the industry. Well, we’re FED UP with poverty wages and demand the raises and benefits we deserve!
The Better Care, Better Jobs Act would invest $150 billion into home care, with funds going directly to home care workers to improve wages, benefits, training & equipment for HHAs & PCAs. It will also expand access to home care under Medicaid for the elderly and disabled. We need more support to get Congress to pass this bill!
