Thanks for taking about this, Allison. I don't know why I am still shocked and horrified by human exploitation, but I am. Of course women of color and immigrants are being taken advantage of when it comes to care work. Was not aware of the 24 hour shift and not compensating hours worked! I was a home care worker in England and worked 24/7 in people's homes. It was totally demoralizing and exhausting and I'm so grateful I had the option to leave -- especially when others can't. Ain't I a Woman sounds like they are doing good work. I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel for this issue and all of those hard-working women. But as you say, the news is not looking good.
Thank you for sharing this important information. I feel a sense of shame for my ignorance but I can now be a more motivated and informed advocate
