Nursing home and home care providers rallied outside the County Board of Supervisors' demanding a $20 an hour living wage. Union SEIU2015 say 'providing long term care is hard work, it’s important work, but it’s invisible.'
The protest was organized by SEIU Local 215, which said there's a"crisis" in the long-term care industry.
In a statement, the union said more than 30% of home care providers work multiple jobs to make ends meet, even though many are already working full-time as caregivers. It added that one in five home caregivers are likely to leave their jobs in the coming year because of a lack of financial security. "In-home supportive service providers care for the most vulnerable residents in our community, but are not provided with the pay or benefits reflective of the critical work they do every day, which has resulted in an exodus of workers from the long-term care industry," said April Verrett, president of Local 2015.
