CLASP recently submitted comments in opposition to the Department of Labor’s proposed rule, “Application of the Fair Labor Standards Act to Domestic Service.” The proposed rule would remove the 2013 regulation that protects minimum wage and overtime for home care workers. Care work makes all other work possible and has been devalued by design. For working families to thrive when they need time to care for themselves or loved ones, care workers need to thrive. CLASP urges the Department of Labor to not merely preserve the 2013 rule as a floor, but to focus on creating high-quality care jobs with living wages, strongly enforced labor standards, and community partnerships.
