Massachusetts’ PCAs Just Won a HISTORIC CONTRACT - Now It’s OUR TURN!
Being a part of a union gives home care workers real advantages! Personal Care Aides (PCAs) in MA just won a historic new contract as part of 1199SEIU, including a pathway to a $25 minimum wage, complex care wage differentials, retirement accounts, professional development programs, more holidays, paid time off improvements and more! Union contracts make it possible for us to support our families while caring for others.
1199SEIU is Massachusetts’ home care worker union.
1199SEIU is a union of 75,000+ home care workers from New York to DC to Massachusetts. As more workers join our home care community, WE ALL GET STRONGER. From union contracts to worker-focused legislation to putting abusive agencies on notice, 1199SEIU is leading the way to improve the MA home care system.
