Join the UFW in Standing Up for Homecare Workers
Please join the UFW in standing up for California's homecare workers by emailing legislatures and Gov. Schwarzenegger. Homecare workers provide critical services to the elderly and disabled in this state. The program brings federal funds to the state and these funds are spent in local counties where they are earned. Home care workers work long and hard taking care of our most fragile citizens.
How is Governor Schwarzenegger proposing rewarding them for this hard work? Home care workers across California now face pay cuts of up to 33%--from $12.10 an hour down to $8. Specifically wages would be cut from up to $12.10 an hour to $10.10 an hour effective July 1 and $8 an hour, effective Oct. 1, under budget cuts proposed by the Schwarzenegger administration.
The proposed cuts are disproportionately aimed at home care, while more costly solutions like nursing homes and institutions will be funded. Study after study shows that both the recipients and their families prefer home care to institutional care. These same studies show that homecare saves the state money.
Trying to solve the state's fiscal problems on the backs of those who take care of the most fragile among us is a disgrace.
that will give farm workers the power to protect themselves.
