Decent work, decent life for domestic workers ITUC
In June 2011, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) is set to adopt an international standard to improve domestic workers’ rights and give them a recognised status as workers under labour laws. A new ILO Convention would be the culmination of years of campaigning by domestic workers’ organisations and trade unions. While the ambition of the ITUC and the Global Unions is the adoption of a strong Convention supplemented by a Recommendation,
employers’ organisations and several governments favour a simple Recommendation only.
The publication provides guidance on organizing domestic workers and how to support in the campaign towards an international labour standard. The work of the International Domestic Workers’ Network (IDWN) and WIEGO are mentioned throughout.
