New York Democratic state Sen. @jessicaramos, who proposed the legislation in January, said it was out of a desire to “end the feminization of poverty.”
New York’s nail salon workers have spent years feeling silenced. They’re ready to fight back.
Nail salon workers are still fighting to get paid minimum wage, and that may mean banding together to overhaul the entire industry.

Blanca Vidal, Program Coordinator with our New York Nail Salon Worker School, states:
"If I changed jobs, it didn’t make a difference because in all the salons there is exploitation."
That's why we need the Nail Salon Minimum Standards Council Act.

We're so proud of the bills we helped pass to improve nail salons in 2015. But the new laws, including the $15 minimum wage in the industry, haven't reached many. That's why we're calling for the Nail Salon Minimum Standards Council Act.

73% of NY nail techs are AAPI workers. Improving labor standards in salons is not just about worker’s rights - it’s a matter of justice for AAPI communities.
This month, we celebrate the AAPI legislators who are standing with us. TY @SenKevinThomas @yuhline & @ZohranKMamdani!
Today I was happy to join @adhikaar's nail salon coalition members & team. As a daughter of a nail technician, I saw my mom work hard for the last 24 years without benefits or health insurance. (1/2)
Honored to have @CMJulieWon meet our members & students of the @NYCOSH Nail Salon Beauty School run out of our worker center. We were all moved to tears hearing her story of her mom being a #nail salon worker.
We can create a healthier, safer industry for all nail techs 💗💗
📣ACTION ALERT TODAY 📣 Have you been hearing the buzz among nail salon workers to bring #allhandsin for workers to join the table for worker justice?
Take 2 min of your day today and call your NYS Senator and Assemblymember - let's raise the floor for ALL workers! #nails

Pabitra shares her story of the unsafe workplace environment nail techs in NY face everyday -- in her case, it led to 7 miscarriages.
Workers deserve dignity -- that's why I support the Nail Salon Minimum Standards Council Act (S8166/A9398)
