All in for Care

All in for Care is our union’s campaign to win better wages and benefits for IHSS providers around the state. As we head to the bargaining table in several counties across California, providers will be coming together to win improvements for our families.

And for the first time ever, IHSS providers in Riverside, San Diego, and Orange counties are at the bargaining table with the state. This is a new and important opportunity to increase wages and benefits for the nearly 60,000 UDW providers in these counties.

TAKE ACTION: Call your lawmaker today and tell them to support pay and benefit increases for IHSS providers: 1-866-584-5792.

Read more about our campaign in the latest issue of the Caregiver. To get involved, contact your local office.
