with

Barbara Young, Domestic Workers United, Ed Ott, labor activist,

Hector Figueroa, Sec. Treasurer Local 32BJ, George Gresham,

1199 SEIU Pres., Esther Cooper Jackson, civil rights activist,

State Senator Diane Savino, N.Y. City Councilwoman Gale Brewer

Legendary Civil Rights-era activist Esther Cooper Jackson, distinguished

labor activists alongside of cheering nannies, housekeepers, and elderly

caregivers raised their voices in tribute to domestic workers and

demanded basic benefits, such as paid leave, and notice, & protection

from discrimination by passage of Senator Diane Savino’s and

Assemblyman Keith Wright's Domestic Workers Bill of Rights which

would make it the first, and hopefully not the last state to give justice to

domestic workers.Recently both the NYS Senate and Assembly passed

differing versions of the domestic workers bill of rights. The bill is in

conference committee and then goes to Governor Patterson for his

signature or veto.
