Los Angeles — A billionaire-owned Los Angeles nursing home is under fire as workers are fed up with hazardous working conditions due to understaffing and fear-mongering from management to keep workers from negotiating for a new contract calling for better working conditions. Dozens of workers will picket outside the facility on Friday.

“No justice, no peace!” Thousands of seniors and people with disabilities depend on an In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) caregiver to survive yet the county refuses to support a new contract with a livable wage and benefits for the workers. On Tuesday, June 11, members of SEIU 2015 led hundreds of social and labor activists in shutting down the San Bernardino County’s budget meeting and shaming the county for refusing to invest in the IHSS Program.

Union activists are protesting today’s San Bernardino county budget meeting. They’re rallying against the lack of pay increase for county caregivers who look after seniors and the disabled. Those workers haven’t had a wage increase in nine years.
