Connecticut Offering $280M to Nursing Homes to Avoid Strikes
Connecticut officials on Monday proposed an additional $280 million in funding for nursing homes in an effort to avoid strikes by nearly 4,000 health workers that are set to begin Friday if negotiations fail.
Democratic Governor Ned Lamont’s budget director, Office of Policy and Management Secretary Melissa McCaw, sent letters to labor union and industry officials outlining the proposed funding, which includes $149.5 million for 4.5% wage increases for nurses, aides and other nursing home workers in the 2022 and 2023 fiscal years.
“We’ve got an aggressive proposal on the table because there’s nothing more important than taking care of our seniors, and I hope to God the nurses are there to do it,” Lamont said Monday.

The report also accuses nursing home owners of failing to follow federal guidance on the use of protective equipment and having inadequate infection control, testing and quarantine procedures during the pandemic. It alleges state officials haven t done enough to oversee nursing homes and hold them accountable.
The report, titled We Were Abandoned: How Connecticut Failed Nursing Home Workers and Residents During The COVID-19 Pandemic, was written by Yale Law School students for the Service Employees International Union s District 1199 New England, which represents about 5,000 nursing home workers in Connecticut. Students in Yale s Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic surveyed employees and reviewed state regulatory documents for the report.
