Forced To Care: Race, Gender and the Obligation to Care
Evelyn Nakano Glenn will reflect on the 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Evelyn Coke vs. Long Island Care at Home to address the question of why women generally and women of color particularly perform the lion's share of caring labor in our society. The Coke ruling affirmed the long-time exclusion of home care workers, including those employed by for-profit agencies, from federal minimum wage, maximum hour and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. She will focus on the discursive construction of paid caring labor in legislative debates, court decisions, and federal regulations regarding coverage of domestic workers and home care workers under labor laws. She will argue that the exclusion of caring work from modern labor protection is based on the construction of caring as: on one hand, as part of the private household and family relations and therefore is governed by principles of altruism and by status obligations; and, on the other hand, as an extension of earlier relations of indenture and slavery and therefore is governed by principles of property in which the labor of "servants" is owned and controlled by "masters." She will extend the framework to examine the logic that undergirds the treatment of immigrant women from the global south employed as caregivers in the global north.
