Friends, could you give your Foreign Domestic Worker a day off a week as well?
But why do most employers not give a day off?
1. Would a day off allow the worker to run away?
2. Would they fear the worker gets exposed to negative influence outside the home?
You do not impose such constraints or have similar doubts when you give your child the day off, do you?
Develop a healthy Employer-Worker working relationship; treat her as a worker. Tell her your work expectation as an employer and give a weekly day off just like how you deserve it too.
Pledge here to give foreign/migrant domestic workers a weekly day off: http://www.petitiononline.com/adayoff/petition.html
