We’re proud to support the National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, which would ensure that domestic workers—including nannies, house cleaners, and home care workers—have the same fundamental rights as everyone else and are not left vulnerable to exploitation.

FED WATCH: The Supreme Court Once Again Turns Its Back on Workers

We will continue to fight for fairness and safety in the workplace and to enforce workers’ rights across the country.
