I am Sumathi. There is good news for domestic helpers. As a result of our fight Govt has passed a GO for domestic helpers for the first time in the history of India. In this GO they have mentioned that Rs.39 must be given for an hour work. This is the biggest victory for all domestic helpers. The GO number is 722D2018. They have joined domestic helpers under minimum wage act on 2011. After 7 years we have got the GO. We have ways to increase this wage amount under the minimum wage act. Secondly, no owners should give less than Rs.39 to any workers. If they are giving legal actions can be taken. Now diwali is nearing so we should get 1-month salary as bonus. We should not accept Rs.100 and a saree as bonus. we should get 1-month salary as bonus. So we all should make use of GO in a proper way. We should not accept less Rs.39 from our owners. So know this law and its in our hands to enforce the law. Happy diwali to all.
