42 BLACK WOMEN ORGANIZING THE SOUTH In 1974, the Household Technicians of America fought for the Fair Labor Standards Act to include domestic workers in minimum wage policy—and won. The win spoke to the role of cross-class alliances among women as well as the potential of organizing outside the workplace as a way to build collective power. In 1977, the National Council on Household Employment held its fifth national conference, a “Practical Workers’ Congress,” in Charlotte, North Carolina. The group invited domestic workers, hotel and restaurant workers, porters, school aides, health aides, migrant workers, and janitors —“precarious” and “contingent” workers of a prior generation. For a full read on the history of Black domestic worker organizing, check out Premilla Nadasen’s Household Workers Unite. As young people organize for their rights, the whole world is watching! #fightfor15 #BlackWorkMatters #StayWoke twitter.com/ fightfor15/status/634420114771718144 @Y_STL, 8/20 Longshore workers from the West coast all the way to #DaysOfGrace in #Solidarity.
