Personal Care Attendants (PCAs) voted by a 94% margin to form a union in the largest labor election in New England history. Supported by senior and disability advocacy groups, PCAs united in an effort to increase wages, benefits, and training opportunities to stabilize the workforce and provide quality care, enabling consumers to live independently in their homes. The Boston Globe reported that the vote "gives the union strong momentum as it moves toward its larger goal of attempting to organize about 55,000 workers at Boston's teaching hospitals."
