"Unregulated Work in the Global City”

with

Annette Bernhardt, Deputy Dir. of the Justice Program, The Brennan Center

A recent study by the Brennan Center's Economic Justice Project, details the systemic violation of federal, state & local labor law which is increasingly

the way of doing business in N.Y.C. Over a wide range of industries, employers pay less than the minimum wage, and sometimes nothing at all;

deny overtime for 60-hour weeks, routinely ignore vital health and safety regulations even after injuries occur; and workers are subject to blatant discrimination, and retaliated against for speaking up or trying to organize.

Domestic workers United

with

Ai-jen Poo - Lead Organizer

Building on the overall study by Annettee Bernhardt, Ai-jen Poo from Domestic Workers United both brings her on the ground report of working conditons and organizing activity by domestic workers while situating their struggle in the context of the new global economy. Domestic Workers United is an organization of Caribbean, Latina and African nannies, house-

keepers, and elderly caregivers in New York, organizing for power, respect, fair labor standards and to help build a movement to end exploitation and

oppression for all.
