LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors advanced a proposal Dec. 6 to boost wages over a two-year period for in-home supportive service workers, who have staged regular rallies over the past year outside board meetings pushing for salary increases.
For months, in-home supportive service workers represented by the Service Employees International Union, have asked the board to raise the salaries of some 196,000 workers who provide care for about 246,000 seniors and people with disabilities from $16 an hour to $20 an hour.
