Well-Paid Maids, a living-wage home cleaning company, continues its fight for the region’s workforce by stepping up its advocacy for all workers.
In late October, Operations Manager Dasha Johnson was a featured speaker at a Progressive Maryland town hall with U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), imploring the senator to fight for the jeopardized childcare and paid leave elements in the Build Back Better Bill. You can see Dasha’s testimony at the 1:38:30 mark.
Later in November, Well-Paid Maids owner Aaron Seyedian will testify in Howard County to support a minimum wage increase before the county council.
Seyedian knows a bit about the minimum wage and living-wage. He founded the company in 2017 by offering workers $16 an hour — it’s now $20 — and a full slate of benefits, nearly unheard of in the house cleaning industry where the maids are often contractors. Well-Paid Maids staff are employees and as such receive health, dental and vision care; 22 paid days off each year; and 100 percent reimbursed commuting costs.
The company recently added a new employee benefit to the roster: A free membership to the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), an advocacy organization promoting and protecting the rights of domestic workers in the U.S.
If you’re ready to get your home professionally cleaned by one of Well-Paid Maids’ fully vaccinated employees, you can give Dasha a call at 202-715-1646 or book an appointment quickly and easily online.
If you have any questions, send an email to [email protected] and Dasha will be happy to help out.
