Supreme Court Stabs Seniors, Women & Our Economy in the Back
July 13, 2007
It’s hard to believe that 9 people, some of whom are getting up in years themselves, would make a judgment that could so harshly affect the sick, elderly and disabled, as well as their caregivers. Yet that’s exactly what happened on June 11th when the Supreme Court ruled that Home Health Care (HHC) aides, who provide “companionship services”, should be lumped in with baby-sitters as “casual workers”. No matter how many long, hard hours a day they work, this ruling exempts HHC workers from the Fair Labor Standards Act and leaves 2.1 million workers ineligible for
minimum wage or overtime pay or benefits.
You might be wondering how this Supreme Court decision adversely affects senior citizens, women and our economy. Here are the cold, hard facts.
