A Historic Moment!

Personal care attendants (PCAs) who care for the elderly and people with
disabilities in Massachusetts have voted to join 1199SEIU in what was the
largest union election in New England history. Consumers, advocates, and
senior and disability rights groups were pivotal in pushing legislation that
allowed PCAs to form a union. The 94% favorable vote result was announced at
a press conference yesterday, and a video news release about the election
available by clicking here.
