Lieberman, Abbie; Loewenberg, Aaron; Love, Ivy; Robertson, Cassandra; Tesfai, Lul
New America
From February to April, New America conducted over 30 interviews with experts, care providers, and union representatives, focusing on three states. This report outlines key considerations for improving care worker job quality through organizing. We also include case studies on care worker organizing in California, Illinois, Washington, and the Cooperative Home Care Associates (CHCA) in New York City, selected based on the effectiveness of organizing strategies in each. [Funding for this report was provided by Pivotal Ventures.]
