The U.N. Says New York City’s Failure to End the 24-Hour Workday Violates Human Rights Law… But NYC SPEAKER JULIE MENIN continues the torture! She left the women workers no choice but to resume a one-week hunger strike, that ended August 4th. But Council Speaker Julie Menin still needs to be contacted, and your support is still needed to pass this bill.

| “Hi, my name is (Your Full Name). My zip code is (Your zip code). I heard about home attendants’ hunger strike to pass Intro 303, the No More 24 Act, and I’m calling Speaker Menin to ask her to keep her promise and submit the original bill to a vote now. The U.N. asserts 24-hour shifts are inhumane and unsafe for workers and patients alike, and it is against International human rights laws to not pass legislation to stop it! Please stand with the workers and all of NYC, not those pressuring you to maintain this system.” |
Every day in NYC, home care workers’ health is destroyed by inhumane 24-hour shifts & patients’ care is compromised, just to benefit greedy insurance companies and sweatshop bosses! There has already been a 4-year delay in passing the No More 24 Act (Int 303) to replace 24-hour shifts with two 12-hour shifts. Speaker Julie Menin broke her promises numerous times & tries to sabotage the No More 24 Act to continue torturous shifts for unionized workers.
