The exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association in the workplace 2016, para. 49
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Many countries, including the United Kingdom and France, exclude domestic workers from the jurisdiction of labour inspectorates in deference to employers' privacy. Canada (Ontario), Ethiopia and Jordan exempt domestic workers from laws covering trade union representation. Migration law often also treats domestic workers differently from other workers. The Special Rapporteur notes, however, as a positive step, that 30 countries have now extended labour protection to domestic workers.
