Labour standards and collective negotiations for domestic workers
Report on training on labour standards and collective bargaining for domestic workers
The training objectives were to: (a) provide SUMAPl members with information on core labour standards and how these relate with issues of domestic workers such as debt bondage and forced labour; (b) formulate plans on how to integrate issues revolving around core Iabour standards issues into SUMAPl (and, consequently, future organizing initiatives) core messages and approaches; and (c) develop a plan of action to pilot, and, later on, upscale initiatives based on the first objective.
To fully understand the situation of domestic workers from the perspectives of the domestic workers themselves and to have a clear grasp of their rights, motivations and strengths a body map on Analysis of the Situation of Domestic Workers was conducted. The training will intensify the participants' knowledge on labour standards and it is vital for them to have a solid knowledge on these and should be reiterate what they have learned in their communities.
