Today, SEIU Local 2015, the nation’s largest long-term care union and California’s largest labor union representing more than 400,000 nursing home workers and home care providers, is holding a statewide day of action—the third in as many months—rallying at nursing homes and long-term care facilities across the state. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated a pre-existing crisis in California’s nursing home industry, with essential caregivers—mostly women, mostly women of color—leaving at alarming rates due to low wages and the dangerous workplace conditions laid bare over the last two years.
