Appeal Democrat | August 27, 2024

Yuba County home care workers recently ratified a tentative union contract with the Yuba County Board of Supervisors, which will put caregivers on track to earn nearly $20 per hour by 2027, if approved.

According to SEIU Local 2015, one of the largest long-term care workers unions in California, the new contract will raise standards for approximately 1,230 In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) workers who provide long-term care to more than 1,310 older adults and people with disabilities across Yuba County. 

SEIU Local 2015 members providing IHSS services across Yuba County voted unanimously to approve the tentatively agreed upon union contract in an effort concluding on Aug. 22.
