Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report
National Edition
Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg
*************************
Domestic Workers Uniting
"Your Home, My Work"
NY Metro Labor Communications Assn. Award Winner
in Broadcast Media and Communications Category
Building Bridges allows domestic workers to tell their stories -
stories of their pains, their pride and their efforts to organize
for labor rights. Since slavery, the domestic work force has
been predominately women of color. With the abolition of
slavery African-American women were still the predominate
workers, as immigrant woman began to enter that workforce.
Today, women of color, from around the world work as
domestic workers. Everyday, 200, 000 domestic workers
(nannies, elderly companions, housekeepers) in New York
make it possible for their employers to go to work. Most are
employed without a living wage, healthcare, and basic labor
protections. Domestic work is vital to the economy and the
community, but domestic workers remain invisible, vulnerable,
and under-valued. "Your Home, My Work" recognizes and
values domestic laborers.
