 Mr. Ball: I’ am getting old and so do you so who is going to take care of us in a few years?

 

Mrs. Ball: well I don’t know how to call her; nanny, housekeeper or caregiver because she will probably have to play all those roles

 

 

Mr. Ball: yes one of those women that work for many hours and puts up with verbal harassment and even sometimes physical and sexual abuse, an invisible worker


 

Mr. Ball: when we get back to New York City we need to advocated for the passage in Albany of the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights which will insure they get health benefits, paid time off, overtime and cost of living raises besides of other benefits

 

 

 

 Mrs. Ball: wow I didn’t know it was so important to you

 

Mr. Ball: well my grandmother was a German immigrant and she worked as a caregiver for the elderly since she couldn’t find any other job. She used to talk about her feeling mistreated and belittled and said that she lacked at work the essential dignity a human being should have had. We should give these people a minimum of human dignity by improving their working conditions.
