I am Vimala from Mogappair. On 12th they conducted meeting in Pursawalkam. People from many states attended this meeting. Second time I am attending this meeting. First time i went to Maharastra to attend this meeting. Every state's representatives spoke about the problems faced by their state labours. People from Kerala, Karnataka, Maharastra were present in this meeting and they expressed their requests. They discussed on what demands can be expressed. Many people said that wages is not given properly, women are treated as slaves. And they also discussed to put forth our demands before the election comes. Geetha spoke about 100 days work scheme. She said that in her area 100 days work was given only for 60 days and wages was not given properly. I wanted to say that Domestic helpers dont have any settlement when they leave the work. Some laws should be implemented for their benefit. But i couldn't say it. But in next meeting i will say it for sure.
