Steps will be taken to enact legislation to protect domestic workers’ rights without delay, Minister for Labour V. Sivankutty has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating the International Domestic Workers’ Day celebrations organised by the SEWA Union here on Friday.
Mr. Sivankutty said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had announced at the International Labour Conclave last month that the State would frame a Bill for the protection of domestic workers’ rights. The draft of the legislation would be discussed with workers’ unions and other organisations soon, he said.
