A call for passing the California Bill of Rights for domestic workers.

San Francisco – A coalition of domestic workers’ and other low wage workers’ organizations celebrated Women’s Day on March 8, and launched an effort to get the state of California to pass a bill of rights for domestic workers.

The California Domestic Worker Bill of Rights would provide domestic workers with:

  • Equal overtime pay.
  • Equal right to a safe and healthy workplace.
  • Equal right to worker’s compensation.
  • Equal right to reporting time pay.
  • Equal right to notice before termination.
  • Right to 5 hours uninterrupted sleep under adequate conditions.
  • Right to cook one’s own food.
  • Right to annual cost of living wage increase.
  • Right to paid vacations.
  • Right to paid sick days.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $16,000 before midnight to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
