Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
A group of domestic workers who spoke at a workshop on 'Violence Against Domestic Worker' organised jointly by Needs Trust and Deeps-Tamil Nadu here on Saturday, underlined the need for higher wages. The entire unorganised sector of domestic workers should be incorporated under the schedule of Minimum Wages Act. Initiating a discussion, a senior house worker, Velankanni, said that she was working for 30 years. Although she got some privileges such as interest-free advance upto Rs.5,000 to meet any unforeseen expenditure, she did not get adequate wages.
