[quote=Anonymous]The agencies won't jack up their prices. And the settlement will not result in long-term changes to the programs. They will change the au pair contracts to explicitly prohibit lawsuits (forced arbitration in, e.g., Connecticut). They will lobby Congress for a clearer exemption. One district court judge who did not issue a final, binding opinion is not the end-all on whether or not au pairs have to be paid federal state and minimum wage - just deducting room and board in DC alone would make the au pair salary competitive, let alone car insurance, phone, and all of the other itemized expenses that families could deduct if salaries were read to require state and federal minimum wages, etc. [/quote]
