RCWT is neither a labor union nor represented by a union. The position of the RCWT on labor union organizing of direct support professionals (DSPs) is one of neutrality. RCWT neither recommends nor discourages DSPs from joining a union. The purpose and activity of RCWT is to improve the quality of human services and supports through an ethical, credentialed and respected DSP workforce. We believe that the most effective definition of quality is defined at the point of service—the work of DSPs and their positive effect on those whom they support. To fulfill the goal of promoting effective direct support practice, the RCWT works vigorously for systems reform and advocates for workforce development interventions that improve the continuity and quality of direct support practice throughout the country.
