Daily News | Nannies, caregivers and housecleaners in Philadelphia have workers’ rights, but their employers may not know that
in 2020. In looking at their progress over the last several years, the task force highlighted this law as a top achievement.
“I’ve seen a lot of our workers become stronger. When they go on interviews, they understand what they should and shouldn’t do,” said Johnson, who became involved with the NDWA’s Pennsylvania chapter in 2017 and serves on the city’s task force. “They understand that they’re speaking from a law — the law is applicable to me and applicable to my employer.”
Another challenge, which the task force could not have foreseen, was the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic just as the bill of rights was taking effect. Many domestic workers were struggling with the loss of work or abrupt changes in their employment conditions, but many of them weren’t eligible for federal relief funds. In Philadelphia, National Domestic Workers Alliance helped get emergency cash for hundreds of domestic workers from the Philadelphia Worker Relief Fund, the report noted.
