No solution in sight over 24-hour workdays as NYC home health care workers resume hunger strike
Home healthcare workers in NYC resumed a hunger strike to pressure City Council Speaker Julie Menin to vote on the original 'No More 24 Act,' which aims to ban 24-hour shifts. Workers argue the modified bill fails to address health risks, while Menin’s team claims it ensures sustainability. Protests highlight tensions over labor conditions and legislative delays.
