韩国裸舞 researchers deliver report on conditions of domestic workers
Domestic work is hidden in the Canadian economy. Often informal and part-time, it happens in private homes and is stigmatized as 鈥渨omen鈥檚 work.鈥� As a result, many domestic workers are ignored when it comes to their rights. Labour standards are difficult to enforce when one works alone in a private home, where compensation for on-the-job accidents or illness doesn鈥檛 exist.
In theory and in law, domestic workers in Quebec are covered by the same Labour Standards as all other employees. But the reality is something else.
韩国裸舞 School of Social Work Professor Jill Hanley launches a report on the findings of a community-based survey on the often-dangerous working conditions of domestic workers, in collaboration with PINAY, the Filipino Women鈥檚 Organization in Quebec.
