Domestic Workers Protection

Domestic Workers Protection 

On April 12, 2011, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution in support of AB 889. On May 26, 2011, the San Francisco Human Rights Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Governor and California Legislature to pass AB 889, the Domestic Worker Employment Equality, Fairness and Dignity Act (2011). In a letter to the California State Assembly Members, the HRC asserted that passing this legislation was critical to ensuring equal rights and protections are extended to all domestic workers. I am writing now to express the HRC’s continued support for this bill and the human rights issues it would address. On August 17, 2011, HRC sent a letter California State Senate to express the HRC’s continued support for this bill and the human rights issues it would address.
