State women battle U S labor dept over home sewing
More than 30 Wisconsin women face loss of home sewing work if the Labor Department wins a lawsuit in Milwaukee. The Center on National Labor Policy filed against the department, arguing the six at home crafts rules are misapplied to Silent Woman workers who sew skirts and T shirts as independent contractors. The case raises long-standing disputes over at home labor, fair wages, and what constitutes an employee in cottage industries.
