"Home healthcare is a fast-growing sector in the United States, with a large percentage of women, minority and immigrant workers. However, the appreciation for such essential labour during the Covid-19 pandemic has not translated into acceptable pay and conditions, with many workers unable to even afford health insurance for themselves. In North Carolina, one of the least unionised states in the country, workers are finally organising, bringing the Fight for $15 campaign to the sector and raising support for President Biden's proposed investment of 400 billion dollars into home healthcare."
