This #MLKDay, we are honoring Dr. King Jr.’s legacy by highlighting his call to “disobey unjust laws” that he wrote about in a Letter from a Birmingham Jail about the injustice of legalized racial segregation.

In 37 states, domestic workers are excluded from basic labor and civil rights laws that protect against harassment and discrimination and unsafe workplaces. Our labor laws have failed domestic workers, who provide such crucial care and support to ourselves, our loved ones and communities.

So today, we commit to disobey these unjust laws, as Dr. King Jr. had called for by joining with domestic workers who are fighting to end their exclusion from rights and protections and demanding access to care for all of our communities. ... See MoreSee Less

Powerful piece from Dr. Patricia Campos Medina, a fierce leader in the labor movement and fellow fighter for the rights of #DomesticWorkers in the campaign for a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights in NJ, about the need to "support and elevate each other’s humanity . . . we must support laws like the Temp Workers Bill of Rights and the NJ Domestic Workers Bill of Rights that remove racist exclusions from labor rights for workers of color."

This year, we continue our campaign to WIN the #NJDomesticWorkersBillOfRights in 2023!

Thank you Hand in Hand: The Domestic Employers Network for all you do to put workers dignity and their voices upfront in all you do. It’s an honor to follow and support the leadership of your members and leaders. Onward! ✊🏽💯

We're going IG LIVE this Friday, January 13th at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET, with special guest: Patti Maciez! She is the creator of billthepatriarchy.com, a creative project which provides women the opportunity to calculate the value of the work they do at home: “Whether it's cleaning, child care, cooking, emotional labor, household management or driving it all takes time and that time is worth something.”

Patti is also a member of Hand in Hand and an active facilitator of our My Home Is Someone's Workplace workshops. We will be chatting with her about the connections she's discovered between unpaid labor and our work fighting for the rights and protections of #DomesticWorkers.

Come on by our Instagram: @hihdomesticemployers on Friday and listen in!

It's 2023! Are you feeling that #NewYearNewMe vibe?

Many of us are making resolutions to keep us focused on living our values and growing into more intentional versions of ourselves. It's a great time to also reflect on our domestic employment practices. Are we being the best nanny and/or house cleaner employer we aspire to be?

The #NewYear is a great moment to reset the employment relationship in your home, as well as initiate or revise a written work agreement. A written work agreement is at the heart of establishing clear communication and ensuring shared expectations!

If you don’t have one yet, now is a great time to create one with the worker you employ. To get you started, we're here to help with sample work agreements! Check out our:
Sample Nanny Agreement: https://domesticemployers.org/resource/…

Sample Nanny Share Agreement: https://domesticemployers.org/resource/…

Sample House Cleaner Agreement: https://domesticemployers.org/resource/…

If you already have a written work agreement, the new year is a great time to consult it and see if it needs to be updated:

Have any responsibilities changed over the past year? For instance, did you ask the nanny to do some cooking as well? Or has the cleaner been doing laundry although that wasn’t in the job description when you first hired them?

Make sure these additional responsibilities are included in the work agreement. And if you haven’t added additional compensation for the work yet, now is a great time to remedy that! ... See MoreSee Less
