SENATOR RIVERA ATTENDS 1199'S MARCH FOR HOMECARE WORKERS
This week, Senator Rivera attended a march and press conference organized by 1199 SEIU, CDPAANYS, The Caring Majority and other advocacy organizations in which we opposed the Executive's proposed freezing of CDPAP's workers wages. Senator Rivera reiterated that the drastic cuts in the Executive budget proposal are detrimental for New Yorkers and will exacerbate the workforce shortages that hurt communities throughout the state.
Senator Rivera also spoke about his Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act (S7800) as an alternative to these drastic cuts. This legislation will save hundreds of millions a year in long term care by removing private insurance companies from the equation, ensuring that we put people first.
