The Democratic Alliance has
welcomed the compensation cover for domestic workers.
Over the weekend Minister of
Labour Mildred Oliphant announced that Parliament was reviewing the
Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act as well as the
Unemployment Insurance Act.
DA MP of Labour Ian Ollis said they look
forward to continue public engagement on the new proposal.
Finally we see the Minister
of Labour last week announcing that she is going to put on the table a draft
proposal for compensation fund benefit for domestic workers.
“We are very excited that
this is finally come to be the only problem of course is that domestic workers
could have had this already in 2011 if the ANC had not block my private members
bill, to provide compensation fund benefits for domestic workers already in
2011” Ollis added.
