PA Direct Care Worker Association Organizes a Day for YOU to Speak to Your Legislators!

The Pennsylvania Direct Care Worker Association is organizing a day at the state capitol for our membership to speak to legislators concerning the daily problems facing direct care workers.

On Oct. 9th, Brenda Nachtway attended a meeting with Rep. Mundy’s staff and was assured that our legislators need and want to hear directly from direct care workers in their districts. They want to discuss how we can all work together to resolve problems like staff shortages, lack of respect given to DCW’s, lack of adequate and affordable healthcare, and better wages.

If you have a passion for the work we all do then PLEASE contact Brenda:

If you would like to attend, they need to hear from you by Nov. 10 with your phone#, e-mail address, area you live in and your local representatives’ names. The meetings will be scheduled in December.
