County Can't Cut Wages for Caregivers

Courthouse News reports:

FRESNO, Calif. (CN) - A federal judge enjoined California from slashing pay and benefits for in-home health-care providers in Fresno County. U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken ruled that the pay cuts would hurt the elderly and disabled, and their caregivers, and would end up costing Fresno County "tens of millions of additional dollars" by forcing people into institutional care.
