Unionized without a voice or vote!

The single-largest successful union petition in New York this past year is not at an Amazon warehouse or a university or hospital, but at a home care agency on the border of Bushwick and Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Workers there did not vote to join their union, the Home Healthcare Workers of America. Instead, Anchor Home Healthcare Services signed a union contract with 3,230 of its employees in February 2024, after it voluntarily decided to recognize the union, circumventing the need for an election that would have been reviewed by the U.S. labor board.

$30 per month is payroll deducted, and the workers don’t know why.
