Workers seek better deal
Staff Reporter
BANGALORE: Members of Domestic Workers’ Rights Union (DWRU) staged a candlelight vigil here on Friday pressing for their demands for respect, recognition, better living standards and pension, among others.
Geeta Menon of Stree Jagruti Samiti said that domestic workers were an overworked and underpaid lot who neither had any social security nor dignity. “They are not servants. They are workers,” she said.
They work all day, going from house to house, leaving their own children unattended, she said.
Lakshmi, president of the DWRU and a domestic worker, said that not turning up for work meant salary cut, even if they were ill.
“We also have the right for a weekly off and pension benefits,” she said.
