INSERT - notes from misc. readings on PRT
[[circled]] 1 [[circled]] [[underlined]] National Urban League proposal [[underlined]], 1982
in U.S. are 1.1 million household workers, of which 98% are women
most are black and Hispanic, with median annual cash incomes of just over $3000; workers whose employers comply with minimum wage laws ($3.35 hourly in 1981) still find that job security, collective bargaining rights, health insurance benefits and retirement pensions not accessible
isolated almost invisible nature of the work has always been a problem, making it exceedingly difficult to explore the laws and generate public awareness

in 1964 N.V.L. formed a National Committee on Household Employment, changed in 1977 to the Household Employment Project

types of programs include:
1. affiliate organizing, communication and support
2. project on the history of household employment and household workers organizing
3. project on laws and legislation,
