Tell the White House and OMB to act now!
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the end of the comment period for a proposed rule from the Department of Labor (DOL) to extend federal minimum wage and overtime protections to home care workers. The comments that poured in from the public were overwhelmingly positive, with more than 20,000 people writing in to voice their support.
In mid-January, the rule moved to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), creating new and important opportunities for advocacy. Review by OMB is the last step in the process the rule must go through before it is finalized. Now more than ever, we need you to tell President Obama and OMB that home care workers can't wait any longer.
Got two minutes? Here are two things you can do:
- Sign an open letter to President Obama from The Nation.
- Sign the new petition from MomsRising. Hard copies of the signatures will be delivered to OMB, DOL and the White House.
