Summary
On February 25, 2016, Sarah Leberstein and James Bhandary-Alexander testified before the Connecticut General Assembly in opposition to HB 5260, which would allow for-profit home care corporations to pay their employees for only a portion of their 24-hour work shifts, even when the employees cannot leave their worksite. This legal loophole would apply only to domestic employers, thereby reducing domestic and home care workers, who are almost all women and disproportionately women of color, to second-class status in the state’s labor laws.
