LEBANON -
In March 2017, the National Federation of Employees' and Workers' Unions in Lebanon (FENASOL) joined the My Fair Home Campaign, an initiative of the International Domestic Workers Federation and the International Labour Organization. FENASOL affiliates from various Lebanese unions took the pledge to respect domestic workers' rights in their own homes.
The video is a series of interviews with FENASOL affiliates about how they balance their roles as both workers and trade unionists on the one hand, and employers (of domestic workers) on the other. The ILO launched the campaign in the Middle East last year and FENASOL is the first to join it in the region.
FENASOL affiliates who have taken the pledge:
- Hotel and Restaurant Workers' Union
- Sewing Workers' Union
