Vitrina scene 4: Domestic workers

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
At the payday, we see the householder unjustly counting a maid’s working days and deducting a big amount for incidental reasons. At the end, the maid was desperately unable to negotiate her payment and cannot but accept it. Domestic work is a female-dominated sector, poorly regulated and generally unprotected. Domestic workers themselves often work long hours, have poor remuneration, and little access to social protection. Their isolation, vulnerability, and invisibility as workers are deepened by their dependence on the goodwill of their employers. In addition, issues of gender, class, and ethnicity increase the low bargaining power of domestic workers, making them easy subjects of exploitation.
