SEIU Local 616 represents 9,000 homecare
workers who come from many countries.
Translation of meetings into Spanish, Chinese, and Farsi is essential.
The homecare
workers also meet monthly in language/ethnicity-based caucuses to discuss
contract
issues, union business, and broader labor movement topics. [Credit:
