‘Stop killing us’: New York’s home care providers near hunger strike over wage injustice
Home care workers in New York are preparing for another hunger strike due to ongoing wage injustices related to mandatory 24-hour shifts. Despite a previous hunger strike that resulted in a promise for a city council vote on the No More 24 Act, no action has been taken. The legislation aims to improve working conditions and ensure fair compensation for home care aides who provide essential services.
- ▪Home care workers are protesting against being paid for only 13 hours of a mandatory 24-hour shift.
- ▪The No More 24 Act, introduced in 2022, seeks to reform these working conditions but has not yet been voted on.
- ▪Two-thirds of home health care workers in New York are immigrants, highlighting the vulnerability of this workforce.
