Bill Summary
For legislation to designate June sixteenth as domestic workers’ rights day. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Chapter 6 of the General Laws by adding a new section that designates June 16th annually as Domestic Workers' Rights Day. The governor would be required to issue a proclamation for this day, encouraging public observance to honor domestic workers, who are individuals employed in private homes. The bill also aims to recognize Massachusetts' historical achievement in establishing basic labor standards for these workers through the Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights, and suggests that the day be observed appropriately by the public.
