"It’s seen as women’s work, not proper work"
"New York Domestic Workers Fight to Pass Bill of Rights" from Feministe, with links to a few more articles and the bill itself. Some points from the Bill of Rights:
"Domestic workers are excluded from labor laws that protect other workers, including protection from discrimination and the right to bargain collectively."
"Domestic workers are isolated working inside individual homes, so it is difficult for them to organize collectively to improve working conditions, as is possible in most other industries. In addition, the law does not protect their right to organize."
