Domestic workers on the move!

Congratulations to Domestic Workers in California, where the California Domestic Workers Bill of Rights just passed the California State Assembly. This is only the second bill of rights to pass in the U.S., following New York last year. Domestic workers have long been excluded from American labor laws, resulting in the denial of basic overtime and health and safety protections, as well as the right to organize and bargain collectively. The Bill of Rights is an important first step in granting rights that domestic workers – largely women of color – have long been denied.
