We have people ready to answer your questions.

UDW encourages the participation of our members in the many aspects of our work together, and we know that sometimes you need specific answers to your questions.  Our toll free hotline is there to help you with answers to things like:

• Why is there a particular deduction on my paycheck?
• Am I a union member?
• Am I eligible for health care (medical) benefits?
• How can I have my client's hours increased (or re-instated if they were cut)?
• How do I contact my local IHSS social worker?
• How can I get another home care worker to come in when I need time off?
• Can I get a second client?

Our Member Communications Center also takes a pro-active role.  We call you when something is going on in your county, like voting on a new contract, new wages taking effect, or when you become eligible for health insurance.

Dial 1 (800) 621-5016 toll free
and ask for the Member Communication Center
We have Spanish and Vietnamese speaking personnel.

You can also get personal attention on your question by email: mcc_hotline@udwa.org
