Cong seeks central law for welfare of domestic workers

The Congress today demanded enactment of a central law to provide for job security and social welfare of the domestic workers in the country.

The party made the demand today on the occasion of International Domestic Workers Day, while launching a nationwide campaign, aimed at sending one lakh post cards by domestic workers to the prime minister to demand the central law to protect and promote their employment.

Addressing a press conference here, All India Unorganised Workers Congress (AIUWC) Chairman Arbind Singh said the Central government is desirous of framing a national policy for domestic workers but the move will not help the poor and marginalised workers as the policy remains just on files."
