Once isolated and invisible, now united and growing stronger, we are raising our voices and preparing for the future.
Local 880 began with 200 home care workers, rooted in their communities, but invisible to society at large. Many thought that we were too poor and too isolated to organize. Others simply didn’t think it was worth it. Now, we stand 70,000 strong, proud of past victories and ready to take on the challenges of the future. Members and staff have embarked on our Ten-Year Vision, a strategic plan to make Local 880 even stronger in the coming decade.
The Ten-Year VisionOur vision is for Local 880 to continue our tradition of being a strong and vibrant community union and grow to connect over 100,000 home care and child care workers throughout the Midwest.

secure retirement.

our careers.
• Our communities and loved ones will have access to quality, affordable
health care.
• We will bring politics back to the people, taking action on issues that matter
to all working families.
• No matter how big and powerful we grow, no member will ever feel like a
number.
