Pretoria - Domestic workers, still waiting for the Constitutional Court to confirm a High Court ruling regarding their rights to claim for damages while on duty, are not yet covered for coronavirus infection while at work.
Mashiane urged employers to place their domestic workers on paid leave during the lockdown period. “Workers depend on their jobs to provide for their families. They obviously cannot work from home and many are experiencing uncertainty about their jobs.” The organisation and other unions have approached the Department of Labour to ask that a special fund be made available to assist these people financially if they were not paid during this time.
She said this was the only way many of them would be able to survive the lockdown. She said she had been inundated during this time by domestic workers who were sent home by their employers without being paid.
