Last month, 15 home health workers camped outside New York’s city hall for six days. They refused to eat, only ending their hunger strike after securing a promise that the city council would vote on a bill to end their mandatory 24-hour workday. It’s a practice workers argue is both a labor rights violation and a quiet public health crisis.
Now, a month later, a council vote for the No More 24 Act still has not materialized. Workers announced on Friday that they will go on another hunger strike.
