- Description
- The 5th Cosatu Congress resolved that a research be commissioned by the CEC and conducted by Naledi on the need for establishment of advice centres for servicing and assisting domestic workers. Again, part of the resolution indicated that we should consider finding a viable home for domestic workers. As we move towards the 11th Cosatu Gender Conference, we need to reflect and take stock of the previous resolutions passed on domestic workers, assess the strategies/ steps taken for implementation and make a way forward. This paper has arisen as a follow-up of the afore-mentioned resolution including the commitment made by Cosatu on the Summit held between 27-28 August 2011 which the federation hosted in partnership with the South African Domestic Services and Allied Workers Union (SADSAWU) and the South African Office of the ILO. The aim is to stimulate and resuscitate discussions on domestic work acknowledging the positive steps taken at international level of adoption of ILO Convention 189 (C189) on Decent Work for Domestic Workers and its Recommendation 201 (R201).
