This month, 200 human services workers turned out to Albany for #JustPay. Our advocacy got us a COLA for human services workers in the one-house budget - so now let’s get Wage Board Legislation over the finish line! Call State leaders: https://t.co/SBKybP7cvZ
❗Nonprofit human services workers make $20,000/year less than government workers with similar levels of education. Our workers are meeting with legislators in Albany today to tell them why we need a human services wage board to close the gap and achieve #JustPay! @HSC_NY
BIG NEWS: Mayor Adams announced that City-contracted human services workers will receive over 9% in wage increases over the next 3 years. This is a major win for #JustPay, and is the result of thousands of calls, emails and actions from human services workers!
