The 2,500 new home care members with the Brooklyn-based White Glove Community Care agency celebrated their first win on June 24. Their contract includes increases to pay and benefits amounting to an almost 11 percent raise over the life of the two- year contract for members in New York City. The employer agreed to contribute to an Employee’s Flexible Benefits Card.
The money on this card is not taxable, and can be used for a variety of expenses, including medicine, transportation, and childcare costs.
