I. Domestic Workers' Rights Research Project:
El Centro Humanitario is launching a “Domestic Workers’ Rights” project that will focus on developing research and analysis on the experiences of Colorado domestic workers (such as nannies, home care workers and house cleaners), and the challenges they too often face such as workplace exploitation and subminimum wages. This research and analysis will result in a published report on the subject, in preparation for a broader public education and a legislative campaign to pass a Colorado “Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights” (which will be modeled on similar efforts in states such as New York). In order to achieve this goal, El Centro will build partnerships with diverse community and labor organizations around the issue of domestic workers.
