Here in New York, home health aides are on a six-day hunger strike, calling on the city to pass the “No More 24 Act” to put an end to 24-hour workdays. The majority of home health workers are women of color and immigrant women. Guihua Song, from the Chinese Staff and Workers’ Association, said, “Working 24 hours a day for a long time, our bodies have been tortured, broken down, and full of aches and pains. We cannot care for our children and families. Many of our sisters’ health is destroyed, and they too have become patients.”
