What i really dislike is the way Atwoli runs to sign some of these things but has done absolutely nothing for our suffering brothers in industrial area. Some guys earn 10K a month, have no benefits and can be fired at will with no recourse. I dont even want to talk about the workplace safety issues. People still get locked inside factories overnight with no escape route should a fire break. If we cannot enforce employment laws within the formal sector, how will we enforce laws in this highly informal area?

......and there are thos in inda who are still paid 170/= per day!!!!

Sometimes I tend to think housemaids are some of the most lucky employees, here are people who need not worry about food, shelter, transport and sometimes clothing, what they are paid is net after expenses!!!!

Generally househelps from hardship areas make good househelps e.g kaos. But generally luhyas also tend to last.....the only thing is they have to go to kawangware every sunday for their offs!

The implementation phase will be nice to see how its done.For instance will they come to your house knock and ask if u have a househelp or they will come to ur place of work?
Some laws are better left for the west.
