[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The focus is on domestic workers because those are often some of the most vulnerable and exploited. There have been a handful of cases in Maryland involving slave-like conditions.[/quote] +1000. Additionally, domestic workers need special protections because they typically work as the sole employee, with no other workers to join together with to collectively bargain. Further, if PP feels that domestic worker law are "unfair" because it treats one classification of workers differently, then this is really reason for her to support domestic worker laws. Domestic workers have been excluded from a host of basic workplace protections: http://www.domesticworkers.org/sites/default/files/Domestic_Worker_Employment_Protections_Federal.pdf To say domestic workers somehow receive some special leg up is laughable.[/quote]
