[lbo-talk] WSJ: Nannies Score in Albany: Bill Awards Overtime, Other Rights

[Joseph Catron]

"There’s good news for New York’s 200,000 nannies. A reconciliation
deal between state lawmakers and Gov. David Paterson will award new
rights to domestic workers, making New York the first state in the
U.S. to protect household employees."

Kudos to my friends at Domestic Workers United and the National
Domestic Workers Alliance (and a moment of self-congratulation for all
of us who played some role in the campaign).
