I am Vijayalakshmi from ERI scheme. Yesterday we went for a meeting. People from Kerala, Karnataka, Delhi and other different states were present in that meeting. They shared their problems. We too got an opportunity to talk. In AKR nagar when the parents go for work, the kids are playing outside and struggling alot. We have requested for a creche for kids. For domestic helper, how much ever we may work, if we are taking one day leave, they are sending us out of work. If a person works in a company they will get a settlement. But for domestic helpers, its not available. We dont have ESI or any other benefits. I thought of asking it. But i couldn't ask. I can ask all these in UK. I can share my problems here. So registering it here. For domestic helpers, even if we work so many days we dont have leave. It will be good if we get leave at least 1 day in a week. The salary increment is also not sufficient for us. It will be good if we get Rs.70 minimum. I thought of saying all these. But i couldnt say it. Mam gave me opportunity to go and talk. But I didnt make use of it. Feeling bad for it. The meeting is for 3 days. We attended for 1 day. We got to know many things. We will be happy if they could talk to Govt and implement this wage.
