From SEIU Local 6434:
Homecare workers will be gathering at 4:30 p.m. on the eve of Thanksgiving to hold a candle light vigil to highlight the desperate situations being faced by homecare workers and those they care for. The vigil takes place as negotiations continue with county representatives for a contract that provides needed healthcare and increased wages. The vigil will also be an opportunity to thank workers for the vital care they provide to the County's over 18,000 seniors and people with disabilities who rely on them in order to remain safely and independently in their own homes. Currently, San Bernardino homecare workers make only $9.25, do not receive any sick leave or vacation time, and most do not receive health benefits. The vigil will be at the San Bernardino County Government Building, 385 N. Arrowhead Ave., San Bernardino.
About 50 protesters gathered this morning outside the San Bernardino County government center.
The protesters, members of SEIU 6434, object to a new labor contract put forward by the county.
SEIU 6434 leaders say the homecare workers deserve raises and health insurance coverage.
The county maintains it does not have money to spare because it is facing the worst fiscal crisis in a generation.
