[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else notice that care.com is a big supporter of NDWA:

https://www.care.com/press-release-carecom-ndwa-hand-in-hand-commitment-at-cgi-p1186-q62523119.html

And care.com’s CEO said this about the NDWA:

“ Here’s you link: “To attract and train more childcare workers, Marcelo believes the government should help raise their wages and implement better protections for them, especially domestic care workers like nannies or tutors. They “need to be granted the same protections under the Fair Labor Standards Act [than] most of us are accustomed to,” she says. She advocates for a National Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights, versions of which have already been adopted by California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Oregon, and Seattle, according to the National Domestic Workers Alliance.”

Where is the first place families would go to search for care if they could no longer afford an au pair?

Well, care.com just sold for $500 million:

“ Care.com said it has had more than 1.5 million successful matches since it started in 2006, with 374,000 paying families as of the third quarter of 2019.

"We think its a huge marketplace — about a $300 billion market just in the U.S.," Levin said.”

And any guesses who finds the NDWA? Could it be any of the folks who invested in the early stages of care.com?

It’s not your local nanny doing this. When is the last time someone bin NoVa paid a nanny $15 an hour and was mad? Nope. This legislation is being pushed by people who would directly profit from killing the au pair program.

Wow, I hope the agencies have good lawyers and are on the top of their game, because that facts sheet is pure powerful bullshit![/quote]
