Home care workers unionized 10 years ago: good for workers, good for their clients • Minnesota Reformer Has unionization helped the people who need home care workers to live independently in the community? Several indicators point in a positive direction.

1 in 5 workers in America is an immigrant. Our diversity makes our jobs, our unions, and our country strong.

Trying to divide us based on where we are born is a dirty trick that only helps the billionaire bosses.
