Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that would raise the minimum wage for health care workers to $25 an hour in the state of California over the next decade.
California will raise the minimum wage for health care workers to $25 per hour over the next decade under a new law Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Friday.
"Californians saw the courage and commitment of healthcare workers during the pandemic, and now that same fearlessness and commitment to patients is responsible for a historic investment in the workers who make our healthcare system strong and accessible to all," said Tia Orr, executive director of the Service Employees International Union California.
California's Medicaid program is a major source of revenue for many hospitals. The Newsom administration had warned the wage increase would have caused the state to increase its Medicaid payments to hospitals by billions of dollars.
