I will respectfully submit an answer to your question. Why do home care providers need a union?
Where I live, this is from my experiences, and the majority of the downstate area,we are all going through similar problems. We try to fight on our own, but we are not heard nor respected. We have third party agencies that mandate us. If you hear some of the things these providers have to go through. You would understand. I will not elaborate, but we need the muscle. The muscle we have is UFT-Acorn, which are two reputable unions. United Federation of Teachers, and ACORN, which are people instrumental in things like the cost of living wages.
Believe me when I tell you we have a lot of people that have and are standing up for their rights, even though we are small business people, we need a megaphone to stand up to the powers that be.
This is my experience and explanation.
