Proceeding contribution from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 June 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Convention on Domestic Workers.


Convention on Domestic Workers

Certainly we need to break the coalition's ““Upstairs, Downstairs”” mindset in relation to workplace issues. On the question of people having to report the horrific circumstances in which they live, does my hon. Friend agree that the trade unions' work on taking the evidence that was given—and I hope the Minister will arrange meetings with the trade unions to talk through the issues—is vital? If the trade unions had not been there to pick up these issues, I doubt anyone else would have done so.
