We’re New York Home Care Workers
1199SEIU Represents New York Homecare Workers
Thousands of seniors and people with disabilities can live independently at home, thanks to our helping hands as homecare workers. But we are overworked and underpaid. At 1199SEIU we’re guided by a mission to achieve quality healthcare for all and good jobs for caregivers.

The Most Powerful Homecare Worker Voice in Albany and Washington D.C.
Because most home care funding comes from the government, 1199SEIU members are extremely active in the legislative and regulatory arenas. As the largest union of care workers in the country, 1199SEIU has played a leading role in protecting funding for home care workers, increasing the minimum wage for care workers, and passing legislation requiring minimum wage levels, to ensure quality client care.
