Support Domestic Workers!

Every day, 200,000 domestic workers in New York, mostly women of color, make it possible for others to work.  But these nannies, elderly caregivers, and housekeepers are excluded from the most basic labor laws (including the National Labor Relations Act), and isolated with no power or leverage to negotiate.  They endure long hours, low wages and sometimes emotional and physical abuse.

New York State is considering historic legislation that would provide protections to domestic workers for the first time!  The New York Domestic Workers Bill of Rights is the first of its kind nationally and will set a precedent for labor standards for domestic workers around the country.

Email NY decision-makers today and let them know you’re watching!  Tell them you want New York to set the bar for your state!

I'm contacting you to urge you to help pass the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, Bill numbers A1470/S2311 this legislative session.

On Tuesday April 28th, hundreds of domestic workers and their supporters from around the country will come to Albany for a day of action and education. Please work with them to pass the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights! 

Domestic workers and allies around the country are watching what happens in New York.  We need New York to set a strong precedent for labor standards for domestic workers in my state.
