If California commits to protecting domestic workers with the passage of 'The Health and Safety for All Workers Act', it will set the precedent for other states to do the same and, in time, allow for federal legislation to protect all workers.
estimate nearly three-quarters of domestic workers around the world are at risk of both job and income loss, with little to no social security to protect them.
The results found a majority of workers had been terminated or had their hours significantly reduced, were at risk of being evicted or having utilities cut and felt apprehensive about seeking any form of social security available to them—largely due to their immigration status and fear of reprisal.
The Health and Safety for All Workers Act will amend domestic workers’ current exclusion from Cal/OSHA Labor Law. It will additionally create an advisory committee to develop industry-specific regulations to govern household domestic services. In summary, it’s a simple bill that will put into practice the ethical decision to provide domestic workers with labor protections by including them within California’s current labor laws.
