Why do we join the campaign?

Like other workers, foreign domestic workers have been subjected to wage cuts

Our wage is always subject to review and is insecure

The fight for a legislated minimum wage is a fight of ALL worker

We join the campaign in the context of our continuing fight for wage increase and abolition of the levy

What do we want?

Maximum of eight (8) working hours

Aside from a legislated minimum wage, foreign domestic workers demand the HK government to:

Abolish mandatory live-in arrangementRetain housing, air ticket, travel allowance and other benefits that are of one’s responsibility in hiring migrant workers
