Mosaic pushes wage hike as 800 rally for disabled workers
About 800 people gathered on the Statehouse steps as Mosaic urged Legislature to raise wages for community based services. The House added 3 million to a 12.6 billion budget to lift the average starting wage toward 7.91 an hour, with funding aimed at reducing waiting lists for residential and vocational services. Mosaic, with 10 monthly openings in Garden City area, says higher pay could reduce turnover and help recruit staff to serve clients like Miller and Torres, while advocates prepare for a larger push next session.
