The estimated 1\u20132 million domestic workers\u2014housekeepers, nannies, caregivers for the elderly or disabled\u2014in the United States today are excluded from most federal and state labor laws, including collective bargaining; occupational safety and health protections; sick and vacation pay; and protection from discrimination and sexual harassment. Combining a deep understanding of the complex tangle of human relations around domestic work with keen strategic skills, Poo has created a vibrant, worker-led labor movement and spearheaded successful legislative campaigns at the national and international levels.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAi-jen Poo received a B.A. (1996) from Columbia University and began her work in organizing in 1996 with the Women Workers Project at the Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence. She co-founded Domestic Workers United in 2000 and served as lead organizer until 2009, and she joined the National Domestic Workers Alliance as executive director in 2010. She is also co-director of Caring Across Generations. - See more at: \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.macfound.org\/fellows\/924\/#sthash.sKa2NeU6.dpuf\u0022 title=\u0022http:\/\/www.macfound.org\/fellows\/924\/#sthash.sKa2NeU6.dpuf\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.macfound.org\/fellows\/924\/#sthash.sKa2NeU6.dpuf\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAi-jen Poo\u0026nbsp;will speak at Georgia Tech\u0027s IMPACT Speaker Series on Wednesday, February 18th, 2015 in the LeCraw Auditorium, Scheller College of business.
