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.

It’s Labor Day weekend. For many Americans that means a three-day weekend to eat barbecue and enjoy the last days of summer with loved ones, but Labor Day represents a lot more. As we go All In for Care at the bargaining table to win better pay and benefits for caregivers, we should keep in mind the history of the holiday. Labor Day was created by union members in the late 1800s to recognize the contributions workers have made to building our country, and making it prosperous.
