0 2 minutes read Liberation photo. On April 28, over 50 home healthcare workers and their supporters gathered outside of the Lower Manhattan offices of the Chinese-American Planning Committee in New York City to protest a long history of wage theft and poor working conditions, including a 24-hour workday with little rest.  The protest was primarily organized by CPC workers and the Chinese Staff and Workers Association and attended by the National Mobilization Against Sweatshops, the Democratic Socialists of America, the Workers Assembly Against Racism, the Asian American Feminist Collective, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. The action communicated the threefold demands of the workers: to immediately pay back stolen wages, institute 12-hour split shifts for home health workers, and to apologize to the women who have been exploited by these unfair labor practices.
