How are domestic workers organizing for their rights?

On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about domestic workers' labor struggles. In California, there are around 200,000 domestic workers who serve as housekeepers, nannies, and caregivers in private homes. In June, AB 889, the Household Workers Bill of Rights passed the assembly. Join us live at 10 or send us and email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How would this bill protect undocumented domestic workers? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Ai-jen Poo, a long time organizer, founder of Domestic Workers United and director of National Domestic Workers Alliance

Grecia Lima, CA Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Campaign Director
