I am Padmavathy, Sozhan nagar incharge. I like Urimai kural very much.
I am Indira from Tirumalavoil. we have got a book called Domestic Workers Schedule Book. This is really useful. It has name, age, address, phone number etc. It also has when did we go for work just like school attendance. Date of joining, leave taken, time of entering the house and coming out of house everything is there. How many time are we washing vessels, how many time are we washing clothes, etc and asked to approach the owners to increase the salary? Rs.70 per hour is the correct salary. Whatever we are getting now is very less. The meeting was conducted in Sozhan nagar. 58 people attended the meeting. They asked us to feed in the book and they will check weekly. They have explained it and people will follow it. Main thing is ESI. Once you are old, own children are not taking care of you and not spending money. If we get ESI benefit it will be really useful.
I am Jothi from Banu Nagar. The meeting was arranged on behalf of PTS. We have put forth 3-4 requests. It should be fulfilled. I know about Urimai kural and heard it many times. Thank you
Kani: We have Selvi sis with us who was resettled in Koodapakkam from Maduravoil. Come lets talk to her. Hello sis. Selvi: Hello madam. Kani: Sis, what work were you doing when you were in Maduravoil? Selvi: I was a domestic helper. K: What was your husband working as? How many kids do you have? S: I have 1 daughter and 1 son. Daughter has finished her B.com and son has finished his engineering. My husband was working as a watchman. He was earning Rs.9000. K: What was your sate of mind while going to Koodapakkam from Maduravoil. S: I was restless and didnt knew what to do. We were used to this place. After going there, till one month we struggled now things are settled to some extent. But if we have to go for work, we have to pay so much for Bus fare. Many are not able to work due to physical strain and pain. They have run from here and stand to work there. That is the main problem now. People who are more than 40 years are not getting work, Only people with 30-35 years are getting jobs. There are no flats for domestic help. We have to cross Poonnmallee to get domestic helper job. What can we do tell me? 3 months I dint go for work, due to my health issue and leg pain. K: Are you coming to Maduravoil for domestic helper work? S: I am coming to Madurvoil as well i am doing in Ponnamallee. But they are hesitant to appoint and asking will you be able to come at this time. Dont know what to do. K: Hope you have seen the demand letter we drafted during election season. We have asked for a free bus pass for domestic helper. Have you seen that? S: I am not aware. But it will be really great if it happens. If we have Rs.3000 salary, we are spending Rs.1000 for bus fare. How can we survive. If you could give free bus pass, it will be helpful

I am Geetha from Tiruvallur dist. I heard Naal sollum seithi. In that told about achiever women. But according to me the achiever women in Sujata mam from PTS, secondly, Sumathi sis, Santhanamari sis, Saraswati sis, Sangeetha, Kani, Sumathi, Veni, Panjali sis. They are fighting for we women. They say that women should get justice. Palani bharati, Dhanalakshmi they all are working for us. So for me, these women are achiever women.
I am Geetha from Tiruvalllur dist. We had a petition with 10 demands prepared by PTS. We showed it to the candidates. He read the demands and said he will fulfill all the demands. And asked us to vote for him. Since dependents on NREGA and Widows are more in our Chinnambedu area. So requested him to emphasize more on these 2. We are 50 PTS members in this area, we will vote for you.
I am Padma from Cholanagar. The meeting was organized and more than 50 incharges were present. They explained to us about the demand for election.
