Do you know about the new protections for domestic workers?

➡️ Domestic workers include cleaners and at-home caregivers such as nannies. They, like all NJ employees, are legally protected from discrimination, unsafe working environments, and other abuses. All domestic workers are entitled to these new protections, regardless of immigration status.

Visit https://www.nj.gov/labor/myworkrights to learn more.

💚 Don’t be afraid to reach out!
CUMAC also provides workshops and other outreach engagements to help NJ workers understand their rights and protections. Come visit us at our in-person Marketplace or contact [email protected] with questions.
