California United Homecare Workers is California's newest union representing over 40,000 homecare workers in 25 counties.

A joint affiliation between the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME), CUHW is dedicated to protecting the In-Home Supportive Services program, the homecare workers who make this lifeline program possible, and the hundreds-of-thousands of California seniors and people living with disabilities who rely on homecare for their most basic daily needs.
