The recent report, My Home is Someone’s Workplace: Re-envisioning Domestic Employment in New York State, by Hand in Hand was a first-of-its-kind, in-depth look at the demographics, needs, and challenges of New Yorkers who employ someone in their home.
It highlighted the need for employers to have clearer guidelines on how to be a fair employer.
Hand in Hand hopes to build on this research to explore how to organize employers of domestic workers to take action on policies and legislation to create a mutually beneficial domestic workplace.
