During the event, Prime Minister Holness said

“I am going to go back to my office and send a note to Minister (of Labour and Social Security) Hon. Shahine Robinson, for her to bring that Convention to us so that we can very quickly do the appropriate thing.”

  • Please add your name to this sign-on letter encouraging him and the Jamaican government to take quick action to become the 13th country in Latin America and the Caribbean (out of 22 internationally) to ratify the ILO’s Convention 189 on Decent Work for Domestic Workers (C189).
  • Let's all support the work of the Jamaica Household Workers Association, an affiliate of the International Domestic Workers Federation, which has been working tirelessly towards C189 ratification.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
