Domestic Workers Sue, Lobby, Organize For Workplace Rights SAN FRANCISCO - She says she crossed the border from Mexico and found work as a live-in housekeeper for a family that never let her out of their sight. At first, her employers paid her $200 a month for cooking, cleaning and care-taking from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. Then they stopped paying the woman, who did not want her name used because she is in the country illegally. Still, she stayed. She had nowhere else to go. She said her bosses told her that if she left, she could be arrested and thrown back to Mexico, where her family had no means of support.

Domestic Workers Sue, Lobby, Organize For Workplace Rights

SAN FRANCISCO - She says she crossed the border from Mexico and found work as a live-in housekeeper for a family that never let her out of their sight.

At first, her employers paid her $200 a month for cooking, cleaning and care-taking from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week. Then they stopped paying the woman, who did not want her name used because she is in the country illegally.

Still, she stayed. She had nowhere else to go. She said her bosses told her that if she left, she could be arrested and thrown back to Mexico, where her family had no means of support.
