Local 389 Home Care Employees
Home care employees continue to be the fast growing local within the DC 1707 family.

Local 389 currently has 7,000 employees as it continues to organize the nonunion home care service sector. Through contract negotiations, great success has been reached in elevating the wage and benefit package for members, including a life insurance and pension plan.

Local 389 members have also proven to be extremely energetic and savvy lobbyists in Albany and in the city. By working in a coalition with other unions and home care providers, the local has been able to defeat attempts by state administrations to cut Medicaid funding for home care programs.
