All of NYC is against 24-hour workdays. Join us on MAY DAY to stand up for our health and lives: Wednesday, May 1, 12pm
at City Hall (Broadway & Murray St, across from 250 Broadway)

In New York City, home attendants–predominantly immigrant women of color–are forced to work sleepless 24-hour shifts, for multiple days in a row. They care for our elderly, disabled, or severely ill loved ones who need 24-hour care. Everywhere else in the world, 24-hour home care work is split into 8- or 12-hour shifts. 24-hour workdays destroy workers’ bodies and families, and endanger patients’ lives.

Home attendants recently went on hunger strike for 6 days, in the cold outside of City Hall, demanding an end to 24-hour workdays. But NYC Speaker Adrienne Adams proved she doesn’t care if these women die – she still refuses to bring the “No More 24” Act to a vote, instead siding with home care and insurance companies. She is being condemned by the whole society!

Workers across all industries must unite to demand an end to these inhumane conditions! If they can do it to home attendants, they can do it to any of us. We’ll all be dragged down in a race to the bottom – we must fight together for our health, time, and lives!

What can you do?
