Home healthcare workers who have joined together to achieve better wages.

The Home Healthcare Workers of America (HHWA) is part of the International Union of Journeymen and Allied Trades (IUJAT). Established in 1874, the IUJAT is one of the oldest labor unions in continuous existence in the United States. The HHWA is a National Union representing home healthcare workers who have joined together to achieve better wages, benefits, and working conditions in their industry.

Better wages & benefits

Union workers earn substantially more than their non-union peers (up to 30% more) with higher-than-average access to benefits, including quality healthcare.

Job security and a grievance procedure

A union contract provides a forum in which you can dispute company practices that adversely affect your job and defend you against unfair layoffs or discharges.

A fair and safe workplace

Unions provide workers a voice through a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and ensure fair treatment and equal rights under the CBA. Under the law as a non-union worker, you are an “at-will” employee, which means you may be fired any time the employer chooses, without justified cause.
