Last year, the California General Assembly passed the California Domestic Workers Bill of rights, AB889. The bill is now before the California Senate, and the California Domestic Workers Coalition is urging people to take action in support if the bill.

The California Domestic Worker Bill of Rights, AB889, will end generations of exclusion from basic labor protections. It will include housekeepers, childcare providers & caregivers and provide these workers with:

  • Overtime Pay
  • Meal & Rest Breaks
  • Adequate sleeping conditions for live-in workers.
