system, and
WHEREAS, Any reform of IHSS must preserve and strengthen the individual provider
mode of service delivery, and
WHEREAS, Any reform of IHSS must create an authority which would act as the
employer of record for home care workers for the purposes of collective bargaining, and a safe,
dependable registry for consumers, and
WHEREAS, Home care workers in the IHSS program must have the right to choose to
be represented by a union for the purposes of collective bargaining, economic advancement and
