Women Workers Project invites you:
For generations, domestic workers in the U.S. have lived the legacy of
slavery -- invisibility, lack of set hours or clear job responsibilities,
isolation, long hours, low wages, harassment and unjust firings. As a
growing workforce of women of color who have migrated to New York due to
poverty created by US-driven neoliberal policies abroad, domestic workers
have been and remain systematically excluded from some of the most basic
protections. After working long hours in their employers homes, they raise
and care for their own families here and abroad.
Come hear the testimonies of the nannies, housekeepers and elderly
caregivers whose labor provides the backbone for the NY economy. And,
support their call for a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights in NY State,
including a livable wage, notice of termination, severance pay, paid
vacation and sick days, health care and protection from discrimination and
unjust firing.
Tribunal members include:
Deborah Baumgarten, Assistant Attorney General
Doudou Diene, U.N. Special Rapporteur on Racial Discrimination
Jaribu Hill, Mississippi Workers Center for Human Rights
Lennox Hinds, Professor, Rutgers University
Lenora Lapidus, Women's Rights Project at the ACLU
Mary Beth Maxwell, American Rights at Work
Gay McDougall, Global Rights, U.N. Independent Expert on the Rights of
Minorities
Mia White, Ms. Foundation
