WorkLife Law is proud to have submitted comments opposing the U.S. Department of Labor’s proposed rule, “Application of the Fair Labor Standards Act to Domestic Service.” This rule proposes stripping basic minimum wage and overtime protections from homecare workers – a critical segment of the workforce whose labor is already undercompensated yet is critical for the well-being of our children, people with disabilities, and older adults. The proposed rule perpetuates a long and troubling legacy of undervaluing care work necessary for our economy and communities to thrive.

WorkLife Law is excited to welcome two bright members to our team: Erin Lichtenstein as our Legal Extern and Westley Shaw as our Legal Service Funders Network Fellow. 

In our annual report, you’ll find a snapshot of WorkLife Law’s impact this year—victories won, partnerships forged, and lives transformed. We invite you to dive deeper into our work and discover how together we’re building a more just future for working families.
