Representing over 500,000 home care, skilled nursing facility, & assisted living center workers in CA, SEIU 2015 is the largest #LongTermCare local in the US✊
Joined October 2009
💛Last year, we fought for higher wages, protected IHSS services, passed game-changing legislation, and grew to represent over half a million care workers. That’s what happens when workers lead. Watch more of our 2024 victories below! #UnionsForAll.

California’s senior population is projected to double by the year 2030, and our care infrastructure is not equipped for the coming silver tsunami. We must strengthen our #longtermcare system to ensure #LongTermCareForAll!

+385,000 caregivers in California can relate to @RobLowe’s story. Caregiving can be the toughest/most rewarding job you’ll ever do. However, the mental, physical, financial, & emotional tolls MUST be talked about & addressed if we want our loved ones to receive the care they need.

The comments heard on this recording are racist and deplorable, and all involved should resign. Most importantly, we must reject this undemocratic and bigoted way of thinking. This is not who we are as a labor movement and as a City. 1/.
The actions LA City Council members of Nury Martinez, Kevin de León, and Gil Cedillo, as well as Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera are both painful to hear and disgraceful. These are not the values of the labor movement.
