Work and Respect at the US Social Forum Film Festival
Over 200,000 women work in the homes of New Yorkers as housekeepers and nannies. Mostly women of color and often undocumented, their work is not covered by labor laws, and for many, the pay and conditions of work are beyond belief. With the help of Domestic Workers United (DWU), the women are beginning to fight for a bill of rights and new labor laws.
