"The bill would apply to all domestic workers, such as nannies, housekeepers and elderly
caretakers, and would require mandatory breaks, overtime pay and the minimum wage.
If bill AB 889 turns into law, costs for parents who employ workers regularly to watch their children, could rise. Breaks would be required, specifically a 10-minute rest every four hours (A second babysitter would be needed to cover for the breaks) and a 30-minute meal break after five hours.
In addition, workers who live in or work 24-hour shifts would gain the right to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep, and those working more than five consecutive hours would be allowed to use their employers' kitchens free of charge to cook their own food."
The legislature in California is about 2 short of a 2/3 majority in both the Senate and Assembly. The Democrats are in control and most are truly Socialists.
