- Description: A year has gone by, after the adoption of International Labour Organisation's (ILO) Convention 189 for Domestic Workers. We have worked so hard for nearly four years, to ensure that our work is recognised as decent work! On 16th June 2011 we made history when Convention 189 was adopted. In this year gone by, only one government has signed the ratification of Convention 189. We set ourselves a goal: We want at least 12 governments to sign, one each month as part of the international 12 to 12 Campaign with the International Trade Union Congress (ITUC) and International Domestic Workers' Network (IDWN). South Africa shcAild be the second government to sign and ratify 189, meaning it becomes labour law, as South Africa was the most supportive and vocal government leading the campaign for Convention 189 at the International Labour Conference.

- Description: DOMESTIC WORK IS WORK; DOMESTIC WORKERS ARE WORKERS; SADSAWU through our active involvement in the processes leading up to the adoption of the ILO convention on domestic workers, recognises that our country has made huge strides to protect domestic workers in relation to other countries. South Africa and particularly the Department of Labour played a leading role ensuring that the ILO adopted the convention on the 16th June 2011. Our right to organise, to a contract of employment, to participate in processes of setting national minimum wages and conditions of employment has been achieved long before the adoption of the ILO convention But we have to continue to lead and the nexi step is the ratification of the ILO convention on domestic workers by the South African government - let us be the first country to do so in Africa and in the world.
