Long-lasting care employees are worthy of to have the resources required to take care of ourselves, our households and individuals we serve every day. That consists of supplying us with habitable incomes, access to budget-friendly medical insurance, and the chance to retire with self-respect.
House care, group house and nursing house services have actually traditionally relied on structures that keep employees down. For too long, Connecticut has actually underestimated long-lasting care, a labor sector of tasks that are mainly held by ladies. A bulk of our union labor force is Black and Brown.
We continue to run the risk of severe health problem and death daily so that susceptible populations can get crucial healthcare. A lot of long-lasting employees have actually paid the supreme cost due to absence of defense from COVID-19 Much more, like Licensed Nursing Assistant Francene Bailey, have actually lost enjoyed ones or have actually suffered irreversible damage from the infection.

Long-lasting care services need to be effectively moneyed so employees and their households can lastly increase above the hardship line, therefore we can continue to supply quality look after all who require us in a rich state like Connecticut. Returning to regular is merely not a choice. Pass the Long-Term Care Expense of Rights!
