CA bill proposal would require households to provide safe workplaces for nannies, cleaners

A bill aimed at protecting nannies and cleaners by requiring households to comply with safety standards has been proposed in the California Legislature.

On Wednesday, domestic workers came from across California to voice their support for the legislation at the state Capitol, where some held up a sign in Spanish that read, "Everyone Deserves a Safe Workplace."

Durazo, who represents central Los Angeles, noted the symbolism of the gathering taking place on the first day of Women’s History Month. She said she hopes lawmakers take action to protect a sector of the workforce made up largely of women of color.
