United Nations human rights experts sent a letter Monday to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Governor Kathy Hochul in support of efforts to end 24-hour workdays for home health aides. At City Hall, immigrant workers ended their second hunger strike in four months to demand the passage of the No More 24 Act. This is hunger striker Ah Lin Lok.

Ah Lin Lok: “Caregiving work is taken for granted as women’s work. As women, we have long been undervalued. And as caregivers, we are devalued even more. … Now the whole world is saying that the 24-hour workday in New York City is wrong.”
