Summary:Interview of domestic worker Lorna Robley conducted by Christine Lewis. Like other interviews in this collection, she focuses on the following themes: her biographical and background information; domestic workers' overview of their work inside their employer's homes and how they frame it as "real work"; how the domestic workforce negotiates and balances their work in other people's homes with the needs and demands of own homes and personal lives; their relationship to Domestic Workers United and the movement for domestic workers' rights; and the community of workers that has been created through the DWU organization.
