Put Your Rights To Work

Domestic Workers United - Non-Profit - www.domesticworkersunited.org

Domestic workers have long toiled behind closed doors caring for the homes, families, and children of others, vulnerable to the worst exploitation. After decades of exclusion from labor laws, domestic workers are winning recognition with the passage of the nation’s first Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. Our vision is to bring domestic work out of the shadows, with a Know Your Rights campaign letting workers and employers everywhere know that a new day has dawned; this work must be respected! This project will change the way domestic work is viewed, and advance the broader movement for rights for all workers.

        great job. The women struggle will continue until we have the same rights. Hope that soon domestic workers have at least one three weeks vacacion, 6 sick days and national holidays yearly. that will be a fair equality of workers.

        After winning an historic victory with the NY Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, this organization is poised to make the bill truly meaningful, with resources to get the information out!

        Fair labor should be a given right, not a privilege. Domestic workers everywhere deserve that respect. My support, and my vote, goes to the Domestic Workers United campaign, providing a voice for those who cannot, or will not, be heard.
