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.

San Diego County moved into the process soon after and Orange County providers will join us in 2016. Before the move to state-level […]

June 12, 2015 This week, in a historic first meeting, homecare providers in Riverside County met with representatives from the state to prepare for contract negotiations at the state-level. Up until now, homecare workers have had to bargain for better wages and benefits at the county level, a frustrating process that has caused wages to stagnate in many counties throughout the state where lawmakers have refused to invest in IHSS. This changed for several counties with the passage of the SB 1036 in July 2012. A provision in the law allowed for the eight pilot counties to move from county to state-level bargaining. […]
