We are taking care of clients that are disabled and/or dying. It can be emotionally and physically hard.
The union is awesome, but there is no direction from management and the training we are required to have isnt offered on a timely basis.
We have to ask around as to who are our coworkers and who are not, and there are no work meetings to speak of.
The state and federal gov't are constantly trying to reduce our numbers or shut us down completely. We are one of a limited number of options for the disabled to stay in their homes.
