A few hundred home attendants rallied outside City Hall on April 12, 2023, demanding Council Speaker Adrienne Adams finally bring the “No More 24” Act or Int. 175- to a vote. They claim that the speaker has repeatedly refused to bring the bill to a vote.
Int. 175, introduced by City Council Member Christopher Marte in April 2022, would end the 24-hour work shifts for home attendants. The bill, which has bipartisan support, would set the maximum working hours an employer can assign to a home care aid to 12 hours within a 24-hour period and 50 hours a week.
