A disaster in the making for millions of care workers and the people they support: "[The Trump administration proposal] reopens a loophole allowing employers to broadly classify care workers as “companions” who can be paid less than minimum wage and are not eligible for overtime pay."
I led the DOL's Wage and Hour Division when the homecare rule was affirmed and we implemented it for 2+million workers and the people they help. This article captures the cost of Trump's effort to take away those protections. capitalandmain.com/home-care-wo... @nelp.org @capitalandmain.bsky.social
Home Care Workers Are Losing Minimum Wage Protections — and Fighting Back
