Show Notes
Home care aides in New York, predominantly immigrant women, are fighting for their rights after the state labor department dropped wage theft investigations. Theyve endured grueling shifts, with some like Gui Zhu Chen seeking hundreds of thousands in back pay. A judge reopened over a hundred cases, ruling the department abandoned its duties. Advocates push for reforms to end the practice of paying just thirteen hours for twenty-four-hour shifts, but face opposition over potential costs to Medicaid-funded programs.
