In 2010 New York passed the first legal protections for in‐home care workers in the United States. Amid these legal changes, care workers deploy collective complaint as a community‐building strategy, allowing immigrant women who are domestic workers—often isolated in private homes—to commiserate with one another through shared criticisms of their, mostly women, employers. Based on fieldwork among activist nannies in New York between 2010 and 2012, I argue that collective complaint is a critical source of solidarity and community for childcare providers while caregivers’ rhetorical and affective strategies offer insight about the potential limitations of rights‐based legislation in this and other informal sectors.

集体投诉：纽约市女性移民看护者的社区，表现和劳动法的限制

2010年，纽约通过了美国第一个针对家庭护理人员的法律保护措施。在这些法律变化中，护理人员将集体投诉作为社区建设策略，允许作为家庭佣工的移民妇女（通常被隔离在私人住宅中）通过共同批评她们的雇主（大多数是女性雇主）而彼此同情。根据2010年至2012年在纽约的激进保姆进行的实地调查，我认为集体投诉是托儿服务提供者团结与社区的重要来源，而看护人的言辞和情感策略则为基于权利的立法在此方面的潜在局限性提供了见解。和其他非正式部门。
