Coalition Petitions DOL to Ensure Fair Pay for Home Care Workers
Posted: May, 2012
A petition asking the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to extend basic wage protections to home care workers has been launched at the website Change.org.
Home care workers assist older Americans and people with disabilities with activities critical to their safety and quality of life, yet 50% of workers rely on public assistance in order to meet their own basic needs.
