SEIU Local 2015 is calling on local and state governments to recognize the vital role that IHSS workers provide, especially in this pandemic, and address their urgent needs immediately. Those needs include:
- Immediate access to testing for all in-home caregivers, and a standardized testing regime statewide going forward;
- Access to a steady supply of medical-grade PPE for in-home caregivers in every county across the state;
- Fully-funded, accessible healthcare for every worker, including paid sick leave and 100%-paid testing and treatment for COVID-19;
- Wages that reflects the essential nature of the work.
