Show Notes
Home care workers and labor supporters launch daily sit-ins at City Hall, demanding quick passage of the No More Twenty-Four Act. The bill aims to limit shifts to no more than twelve hours a day, with extra hours capped at two per day and ten per week. Council Member Christopher Marte and Speaker Julie Menin express optimism, with Mayor Zohran Mamdanis past support. Workers share the health impacts of grueling shifts, and negotiations continue in the Civil Service and Labor Committee. Protesters worry delays could weaken the bill or lead to more wage issues, with sit-ins set to continue until the council votes and the mayor signs it into law.
