"Madam President, we know that there are 2.6 million domestic workers in the European Union, of whom 89% are women and half are migrants. Domestic work is one of the most unprotected and invisible forms of work, bearing in mind that it is isolated and individual by its nature. It is therefore often very difficult for domestic workers to obtain information about their rights, or to organise themselves in representative associations or unions which can enable them to move securely and to defend their labour and social rights.
In a number of EU countries, domestic workers are frequently employed in precarious conditions. They are without a contract, their wages are paid late, they are required to work extra hours without due payment, their rights to leave and rest periods and paid public holidays are ignored and their social security contributions are unpaid. These are very serious issues. We need to examine them in greater detail, and for that reason I fully support this report."@en1
