Don't Ignore Us, Protect Our Rights!

SIGN PETITION: Tell Governor Brown, "Support domestic workers, sign the California Domestic Workers Bill of Rights!"

Throughout California, domestic workers and allies will be celebrating Mother's Day by honoring moms and recognizing the role of domestic workers in the American household.

California's approximately 200,000 domestic workers do the work that makes other work possible and ensure a thriving economy. They perform the fundamental duties of the home, including childcare, house cleaning and cooking, as well as caring for people with disabilities, the sick and the elderly. The vast majority of California's domestic workers are women, minorities, and immigrants.

    It is so sad that we have to enact legislation to insure that laborers receive wages for their hard earned work. A higher law exists already that requires the laborers be paid for their work. Those who oppose this legislation will have to answer to Him for rejecting this just law:

    Wages Scripture


    1. Leviticus 19:13

    Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

    2. Jeremiah 22:13

    Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour’s service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

    3. Malachi 3:5

    And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

    4. Leviticus 19:13

    “‘Do not defraud your neighbor or rob him. “‘Do not hold back the wages of a hired man overnight.

    5. Deuteronomy 24:15

    Pay him his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and is counting on it. Otherwise he may cry to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

    6. Romans 4:4

    Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation.

    7. 1 Timothy 5:18

    For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain,” and “The worker deserves his wages.”

    8. James 5:4

    Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
