Why are California clinic workers talking about SB 525?
The bill would create a $25 minimum wage for all healthcare workers
One out of every six Californians receives care at a community clinic in our state. Community clinics often also provide dental, mental health, and other essential care, and they provide culturally-specific care to the diverse communities of our state. Clinics are a critical part of our healthcare safety net and without them, millions of Californians would have no access to basic and critical care.
Nonprofit and home care workers call on SF to “Drive to $25” by revising the minimum compensation ordinance
Raising the minimum wage for city-funded workers is needed to fully staff frontline care positions to address city’s most difficult problems
On April 11, 2023, a coalition of in-home supportive services (IHSS) workers with SEIU 2015 and frontline nonprofit workers with SEIU 1021 joined together to gather on the steps of San Francisco City Hall to call on the City and County of San Francisco to raise the wages paid to workers responsible for combatting homelessness, addiction and caring for seniors and people with disabilities in San Francisco.
The workers say that poverty wages and worker burnout have caused a short-staffing crisis that is hampering San Francisco’s response to its most challenging problems.
