Alanna Sakovits spoke along with Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim and Julie Kushner at the Connecticut Worker Center's International Domestic Workers' Day celebration on June 16. This event recognized that the work performed by domestic workers—such as nannies, housekeepers, and home health aides—is difficult and labor-intensive work, but is among the most valuable and essential work not just to the families and households they serve, but to the wellbeing of Connecticut as a whole. We also celebrated the work, advocacy, and achievements of the Connecticut Worker Center in advancing the rights of workers, and domestic workers in particular.
