The Plight Of The Home Health Aid Workers & the Homeless!

The Plight Of THE HOME HEALTH AID Workers & The HOMELESS!


HOME HEALTH AIDS:
Paid between $6.00 to $7.50 per hour:

New York State subsidy to the Employers/Agencies for each worker/aid is, $18.00 dollars per hour.


Minimum Wage:
$5.15 dollars per hour:

HOMELESS PEOPLE IN NEW YOR CITY:
140,000 currently:

With todays cost of living in New York City, and America generally, $5.15 cents per hour is unrealistic, brutal, inhumane, and downright exploitative of labor!

HOUSING:
Totally inadequate or (non-existent), for the minimum wage
earner, and blue color/service oriented worker within New York City & State.

The current total of homeless people in the City Of New York is
140,000.

The New York City Administration prefers to pay Slum Lords and Local Hotels, to accommodate the homeless at nights, for fees in the vicinity of $130.00 dollars per person (per night), for a single room, than invest in the Refurbishing or Building of affordable housing for these people.

SOLUTIONS:

Workers MUST organize into Trade Unions in order to collectively get representation for better & fairer agreements for work, benefits, wages, vacation, and health insurance.

Workers MUST realize that the City, State or Federal government will not intervene on their behalf. So the onerous is on them to organize and fight now!

Food Stamps, Rent subsidy, and other Food Pantry hand-outs, are no longer able to sustain those who still have a job, or is getting some form of Public Assistance Benefits. The Cost Of Living in the city, has risen by leaps & bounds in the last decade.


And yet the City administration is contemplating the building of another Sports Stadium, that will surely benefit the already wealthy land developers in New Cork City. While the lower income wage earners can no longer afford to live in the City Of New York any longer.

Using collective action, power, organization and agitation, is the only strategy for the homeless population, and the lower income workers to bring an end to this crisis.
