[quote=Anonymous]Domestic Workers are denied basic labor rights. The issue is not whether one can get away with following the minimum letter of the law, but whether their actions are justifiable knowing that the law should be (MA laws for nanny’s and au pairs) or ethically justifiable. When most of our country’s labor laws, like the Fair Labor Standards Act, were drafted, domestic workers were not included. There are pending bills in DMV and in the Congress that will change that soon. Workplace standards like a minimum wage, overtime pay, or protections against sexual harassment in the workplace are rarely extended to domestic workers, if at all. Many domestic workers do not earn a living wage and work without access to health care, paid sick days or paid time off. [/quote]
