[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This makes me angry. Why are we excluded from these laws, if we can all agree they are good laws. Why should we not be protected? [/quote]

I'm not a nanny but I agree with you.  Some laws seem incredibly out of date.  Yesterday, I was reading an article about an unpaid intern who tried to bring up her boss on sexual harassment charges (he groped her and tried to kiss her and made it clear she wouldn't be hired/move up in the company if she did not give in to him) but because she was an unpaid intern, the sexual harassment laws of the workplace did not apply to her.  Disgusting.  Anyone who is employed in any way (unpaid interns, nannies, domestic workers) should be covered under the same law as anyone else in the work place.  [/quote]

That's awful. The laws should apply to everyone. Why would we pick and choose who we protect. I understand the concern of those who say that a nanny is responsible for a helpless child with little supervision, but does that mean that I have no rights? Questions about my religion, sexuality, medical history and the like are inappropriate, as they would be in any other employment situation. My rights are as important as the rights of any other, yes including the rights of you and your child. [/quote]
