 \n831-206-4914 cell\n\nSEIU-ULTCW Santa Cruz Home Care Workers Demand No 
 More Cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Home Care Wages\n\nSanta Cruz, CA -  
 Santa Cruz County home care workers have had enough of the continued 
 attacks by Congress and local leadership on working families. For almost a 
 year now, home care workers who provide invaluable care to seniors and the 
 disabled have been working without a contract and with reduced hours. 
 \n\nNow, as debt ceiling negotiations in Washington create bitter and 
 divisive lines amongst our elected officials, Congress is proposing drastic 
 cuts to Medicare and Medicaid which would critically impact services to the 
 most needy in our communities. Locally, the Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors 
 has proposed a 10% cut in wages for home care works in addition to the 3.6% 
 reduction in hours from earlier this year. \n\nThese actions threaten the 
 safety and well-being of thousands of seniors and disabled people in the 
 county as well as jeopardize the livelihood of countless home care workers 
 who have already taken a reduction in pay. \n\nHome care workers are saying 
 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. \n\nOn Thursday, July 28th at 5:00 p.m., Santa Cruz 
 County home care workers will gather at the corner of Main and Beach 
 Streets in Watsonville to protest the proposed congressional cuts to 
 Medicare and Medicaid and the Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors plan to cut 
 home care wages by 10%. Join us in sending a clear message to Congress and 
 Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors -- NO MORE CUTS!  \n\nWHO: SEIU-ULTCW Santa 
 Cruz home care workers.\nWHAT: Protest against Congressional cuts to 
 Medicare, Medicaid and Santa Cruz Board of Supervisors proposed 10% cuts to 
 home care wages.\nWHEN: Thursday July 28, 5:00 p.m.\nWHERE: Main and Beach 
 Streets, Corner of “Watsonville Plaza.” \n\nSEIU United Long Term Care 
 Workers is the largest union of long-term care workers in California, and 
 the second largest local in the nation, representing 180,000 homecare 
 workers in California. Follow us on Twitter: @SEIUULTCW\n###\n\n
