Thank you for your support. Your action will make a difference for home care workers and the people who depend on them.


 

Respect for Home Care Workers brings you news from Direct Care Alliance about the rule that extends basic labor protections to home care workers.
RESPECT
for Home Care Workers

We Can't Wait Any Longer!

After finally winning minimum wage and overtime pay and other basic labor protections, home care workers may be forced to wait another 18 months for those rights to become a reality--unless you help.

The Department of Labor (DOL) did the right thing by issuing a rule to cover home care workers, but now there is an effort to delay its implementation.

Home care workers provide vital services to elders and people with disabilities, yet earn near-poverty wages and struggle to sustain their own families on what they earn. They should NOT have to wait a moment longer to receive these basic protections afforded to virtually all other American workers.

We've worked too hard for these basic rights to let them be delayed. Tell the DOL: "No Delay to Fair Pay."
