Summer Road Trip Across America
First virtual bus tour stop, New York City! 🍎🚍
NY holds a special place in our work, as it was the first state to adopt a #DomesticWorkersBillofRights in 2010 and serves as a prime example for other states and cities to follow suit.
Next stop, Hawaii 🚍
Following in the footsteps of New York to protect the rights of care workers, Hawaii became the second state to pass a #DomesticWorkersBillofRights in July 2013
Moving along to sunny California ☀️🚍
California enacted a #DomesticWorkersBillofRights in 2013 to extend overtime pay rights to care workers who weren’t previously included. In 2016, our coalition studied the impacts and needs that overtime requirements had on workers. Take action for care in California today by joining @cadomesticworkers for a rally in Sacramento on 8/29 or taking action virtually!
Next stop….Massachusetts! 🚍
In 2014, Massachusetts became the third state to establish a #DomesticWorkersBillofRights. The Domestic Workers’ Protection Act extended work and labor protections to approximately 67,000 workers in the Commonwealth.
Oregon passed a #DomesticWorkersBillofRights in June 2015 🌲🚍.
The law amended its labor law to require employers to pay overtime and provide protections against harrassment in the workplace based on race, gender, sexual orientation, national orgin or religion.
Connecticut care workers, where you at?! 🍂🚍
In July 2015, Connecticut enacted a #DomesticWorkersBillofRights. Their Bill of Rights provides discrimination and harassment protections at companies that employ three or more domestic workers and it also gives protection on minimum wage, overtime pay, and paid leave.
