PCA Training Fund Gets Started
Consumers, PCAs State Their Priorities

Doug Shatkin, lead negotiator for the Council & Veronica Turner, Exec. V.P. for 1199SEIU, sign the contract creating the training fund. 

When the PCA Workforce Council and 1199SEIU signed their second labor agreement in 2011, the contract included $1 million dollars that the Commonwealth provided to establish a training fund for PCAs. The fund will be administered by the 1199SEIU Training & Upgrading Fund, an independent non-profit, specializing in the training and education of union workers. Planning and supervision of the funds expenses will be overseen by the Labor Management Committee (LMC) comprised of Council and union members.

As a first step, the LMC organized a needs assessment process in order to determine what PCAs and their consumer/employers thought the priorities for using the training funds should be.
