- I oppose reforming current domestic worker policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA).
- I support providing rights and protections for domestic workers, including pay and leave rights, and health and safety protections by; 1.) Repealing the exemption under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 for domestic live-in employees from certain minimum wage and maximum hour requirements. 2.) Requiring written notices of termination and allow other communications for live-in domestic employees. 3.) Requiring written agreements for domestic workers covering wages, sick leave, benefits and other matters. 4.) Allowing domestic workers to request and receive changes to work schedules due to personal events. 5.) Expanding coverage against discrimination in employment. 6.) Awarding grants for a domestic worker national hotline for reporting emergencies, training on hazards facing domestic workers, and workforce investment activities for domestic workers. 7.) Establishing a Domestic Worker Wage and Standards Board to investigate standards in the domestic workers industry. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
