Big majority for mandatory day off in ST poll

Responding to the question "Should maids get a mandatory day off?", readers recorded a decisive majority in favour: 81 per cent said 'Yes' and 19 per cent said 'No'. 230 people voted.

 The question was posed in a report on 'maid abuse' in The Sunday Times (6/7/'08) by Jamie Ee Wen Wei.  Readers were invited to vote online.

TWC2 is currently working with the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (HOME) and UNIFEM-Singapore on a public education campaign in favour of a regular day off for all domestic workers. We hope to see growing public support on this issue - everyone needs time off work!
