[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do understand that the courts have a lot more pressing matters to deal with than your allegedly secret recordings of allegedly illegal questions that have no actual consequences, right? [/quote] +1[/quote] You should be ashamed of discouraging people from asserting their rights. You can ask whatever questions you like when hiring, you are NOT allowed to make hiring decisions off of them. If a nanny can prove that you did, then you deserve everything you get. And, yes, many employment laws do not extend to small employers and domestic workers, but times are changing sweetie, and they are changing because someone spoke up. Stop encouraging people to remain silent. [/quote] No is discouraging nannies from asserting rights. Rather, they're making clear what those rights are or are not. There are reasons the laws don't apply to employers of just one or a few employees. You may not like it, but it is the law. Given that these are specific, reasoned exemptions to laws, I doubt time will change them, sweetie. [/quote] What good reason is there for allowing discrimination? Please enlighten me sweetie. Time and action WILL and IS changing them. Domestic worker bill of rights are popping up in states all over this country, extending OT, unemployment insurance, reasonable break times, and living quarters to a faction of workers largely ignored by the general populace, many of which tolerate various levels of legally sanctioned abuse. Modern day indentured servitude is ending, like it or not. [/quote]
