- Title
The Fate of Care Worker Unionism and the Promise of Domestic Worker Organizing: An Update.
- Abstract
The article discusses the 2014 U.S. Supreme Court Case Harris v. Quinn and its implications for the legal status of U.S. household workers. According to the authors, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to exclude home healthcare or aid from the U.S. National Labor Relations Act illustrates the roles of slavery, racialization, and feminization in the U.S. domestic and care work. Anti-labor union activism and public employee status are also discussed.
