Incredible worker meeting last week. This is what it looks like to build power for home care workers and family caregivers, and how we’ll win fair pay and end the PPL monopoly. Stay tuned for more updates and ways to get involved, coming very soon :)

"The fact that workers were not getting paid at all or on time by PPL had a devastating effect on both workers & consumers. In our membership alone, we had 3 members die b/c they could not get the care they needed." NYCM Political Director on private equity in home care at @cornellilr.bsky.social

💫 NEW: @upturn.org analysis of our survey data shows exactly how PPL has failed NY's home care workers and consumers under its $1B state contract. "It can take up to 12 tries" just to clock in. Unpaid wages. Dead-end phone lines. A great resource to explain why choice MUST be restored to CDPAP!

How Public Partnerships LLC Has Jeopardized Home Care Workers and Consumers in New York State

Upturn’s analysis of Caring Majority Rising’s survey data suggests at least three troubling trends related to Public Partnerships LLC’s administration of New York’s CDPAP.

Valerie’s bank account is in the red, and her care workers are struggling. This insufferable heckler wants to defend the right to “6, 7, 8, 9, 10 homes in this city!” without sharing the wealth. This is precisely why we must defend the pied-a-terre tax & continue to #TaxTheRich!

The termination of TPS for Haitian immigrants is cruel & harmful on many levels. Among them: fraying our already-crumbling care infrastructure. "Immigrants make up 30% of the country’s direct care workers... that share is especially high in NYS, where...60% of direct care workers are immigrants."

If Hochul had listened to us from the beginning, this lawsuit wouldn't be happening. Her actions have made our Medicaid & home care funding vulnerable to a right-wing attack. We won't let the feds use Hochul's mistakes to destroy a program that keeps millions of NYers alive & in their homes.

🧵 Today marks one year since Gov Hochul handed CDPAP to private equity. As some of our members celebrate Passover at this juncture, we tell our PPL story, which has unraveled exactly as we had warned a year ago – worse. Here's “A Year of Loss & Destruction and the Ten PPL Plagues.”

This entire slideshow has a Passover ten plagues border, with blood droplets, frogs, gnats, locusts, boils, hail, a skull signifying death, dark ghostly figures. This title slide says The Ten Plagues of PPL in red drippy letters. There’s a long scroll with black and red lettering. It says “A year of loss & Destruction” #SaveCDPAP. Lost self-determination, lost independence, lost self-direction, lost livelihoods, lost autonomy, lost services, lost stability, lost time, lost jobs, lost care, lost pay, lost lives. Fight for our lives. We need oversight NOW!.” In front of that, there’s a DIY made wrecking ball on the floor that says PPL on it. Behind that, 7 protestors holding signs that say, “Home Care not profits,” “Stop the home care cover up,” “Where has $11B for CDPAP gone?” “Care Not Corruption.” Most use wheelchairs, a range of ages, races, genders.

In drippy red letters, it says, “Exactly one year ago…” Underneath, a photo of Kathy Hochul holding her arms out and wearing a pharaoh hat. The text underneath says, “Pharoah Hochul decreed NY’s home care workers and recipients would live under the control of private equity-backed corporation, PPL.” In all caps bold: “CHAOS ENSUED FOR NEW YORKERS…”

PPL Plague #2: Missed or Incorrect Paychecks. Screenshot of Documented Article: "Criticism Mounts Over CDPAP Overhaul as Immigrant Workers Go Unpaid”. There are two pie charts. The title of the first is “70% of CDPAP Workers Didn’t Get Paid On Pay Day.” Subtitle: “Were you or your staffed paid by PPL on or around pay day (April 10)?” 70% Yes 30% No. The second chart title: “72% of workers who were paid received the wrong amount.” Subtitle: “If you were paid, was payment accurate to the hours worked? Yes 28% No 72%.
