    NYC home healthcare workers stop week-long hunger strike over 24-hour workdays, vow to continue fighting

    Home healthcare workers in New York City ended a week-long hunger strike to pressure City Council Speaker Julie Menin to push for a bill banning 24-hour workdays for caregivers, who argue the practice exploits immigrant women of color. The 'No More 24' coalition, supported by a UN Working Group on Discrimination Against Women and Girls, claims the 24-hour shifts violate labor laws and constitute inhumane treatment.
