The Department of Labor (DOL) is thinking about making a rule. The rule would stop many domestic workers from getting paid at least minimum wage. The rule would also stop many domestic workers from getting overtime pay. Read our plain language guide and the rest of this email to learn how you can help stop this harmful rule from happening! Domestic workers are people that work with disabled people in our homes, like:
Laws about workers give some domestic workers minimum wage and overtime payment. But other domestic workers do not get minimum wage and overtime payment. The DOL’s proposed rule would get rid of minimum wage and overtime payment for even more domestic workers. ASAN opposes the DOL’s proposed rule. ASAN wants more people to be able to get care. Paying domestic workers less money will not help anyone get care. Giving more money to Medicaid will help people get care. Making it easier for people to get services at home and in the community will help people get care. Paying domestic workers more will help people get care because more people will want to be domestic workers. The DOL’s proposed rule will not help people get home care. That is why ASAN opposes the DOL’s proposed rule. To help stop the proposed rule, you can submit a public comment. A public comment is a way for people to let the government know what we think about a proposed rule. Read our plain language toolkit to learn how to write and submit your public comment! Thank you for taking action to protect home care workers!
