Domestic Workers Denied Rights By Poor Labour Laws

Speakers at the Botswana Global Alumni panel discussion held recently at the Institute of Labour and Employment Studies (ILES) said the current labour laws allow for domestic workers to be exploited, to provide sex work to their bosses and perform a duplication of duties they are not employed to perform and are not paid for. 

Cashiers and Allied Workers Unions (CASAWU) Industrial relations officer, Mpho Chingapane said domestic workers have not earned the status of being workers or employees.
