| Supervisors to Consider Fixing Marin's Living Wage Ordinance 4/15; Homecare Workers Need Your Help! |
|
Updated 4.4.2008
We are closer than ever to restoring living wage coverage to more than 1,000 In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)
workers. These are the homecare workers who make
it possible for low-income elders and people with disabilities to remain in
their homes. They were excluded from coverage just before Christmas in 2006.
Thanks to those of
you who have written letters, phoned your supervisors, prayed and sung
with us, and attended Board of Supervisors meetings, the supervisors
have placed fixing the Living Wage Ordinance on their agenda for April
15th!
Now, more than ever, we need your support. Here's what you can do to make sure the supervisors restore coverage to homecare workers:
- Thank your supervisor. You
might say something like, "I want to see coverage under Living Wage
Ordinance restored to homecare workers, and I'm calling to thank
Supervisor ______ for agendizing it."
- Join us at the April 15th Board of Supervisors meeting. We'll gather before the meeting for song and prayer. Click here for details.
