ANC Statement, 25 November 2014

 

 

Minimum Wage for Domestic Workers

 

 

The African National Congress welcomes the decision of the Minister of
Labour to upwardly adjust the salaries of domestic workers within the
framework of national minimum wage and in respect of the new minimum wage.
This decision that comes into effect as from December 2014 is a milestone in
demonstrating the commitment of the ANC government to improve the quality of
life of lowly paid workers. The challenge facing low income workers is the
pressure of coping with the ever increasing cost of living.

 

This major advance in the sectoral minimum wage will go a long way in
addressing exploitation of workers by those employing them. This major
decision must be sustained in all sectors of the labour to assist in closing
the gap between those in the top bracket and those in the lowest level of
earners.
