Home care workers stage hunger strike for Council bill banning 24-hour shifts

By Max Parrott Posted on March 21, 2024

Though the bill gained some momentum in the City Council when it was introduced to the City Council a year and a half ago, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams never brought it for a vote, insisting it’s a state issue. Now a group of around two dozen have started a hunger strike to demand that the Speaker let the full Council decide on the issue.
