Latina domestic workers are calling on state legislators to enact fair labor laws. A group of women demonstrated Wednesday in front of the Women's Building in San Francisco's Mission District to mark International Domestic Workers’ Day, singing and chanting in favor of worker protections. Their demonstration comes on the heels of AB 889, a bill recently drafted by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco). The bill was introduced in the state Legislature in February, and hearings are scheduled for April.
