Oakland—The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) is seeking input from personal attendants on the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights.
Focus group discussions will be held in November and December in Northern and Southern California to hear from those workers who help a child, older person, or person with physical, intellectual or developmental disabilities with daily activities.
The group discussions are being conducted in multiple languages and will inform research about how AB 241, the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights, has affected personal attendants in California. This research is being carried out by the Labor Occupational Health Program at UC Berkeley.
