Domestic workers exist on the margins of the world labor market. Maids, nannies, housekeepers, au pairs, and other care workers are most often 'off the books,' working for long hours and low pay. They are not afforded legal protections or benefits such as union membership, health care, vacation days, and retirement plans. Many women who perform these jobs are migrants, and are oftentimes dependent upon their employers for room and board as well as their immigration status, creating an extremely vulnerable category of workers in the growing informal global economy. Drawing on over a decade's worth of research, Jennifer N. Fish presents the compelling stories of the pioneering women who, while struggling to fight for rights in their own countries, mobilized transnationally to enact change.Household employeesLabor unionsInternational cooperationHousehold employeesCivil rightsHousehold employeesLabor unionsInternational cooperation.Household employeesCivil rights.331.881164SOC026000SOC032000bisacshFish Jennifer N.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1830446DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910955721903321Domestic Workers of the World Unite4400791UNINA
