We approved a deal between the state and Personal Assisted Care (PAC) workers to increase their wages in a historic manner. PACs sacrifice so much to ensure our elderly, disabled, and others are comfortable and safe.
House Democrats showed overwhelming support for the new contract, and I'm happy to say that we were able to ensure our local PACs can continue to provide the great work they give.
The agreement:
- Provides historic wage increases
- Acknowledges and rewards longevity
- Provides two additional paid holidays (Juneteenth and Labor Day)
- Expands paid time off
- Expands health care premium assistance
- Supports improved quality and service and career development through voluntary training options and tuition reimbursement
