About this product
Product Information
From grassroots to global activism, the untold story of the world's first domestic workers' movement. Domestic workers exist on the margins of the world labor market. Maids, nannies, housekeepers, au pairs, and other care workers are most often 'off the books,' working for long hours and low pay. They are not afforded legal protections or benefits ......

Domestic Workers of the World Unite!documents a significant moment in labor history. It provides an invaluable behind-the-scenes account of how domestic workers successfully lobbied governments and employers to do what seemed to be an insurmountable task, that is, the formal recognition of domestic work as labor and the implementation of global employment standards. It is a must read for scholars and activist who are interested in learning about the rights of and labor organizing strategies for vulnerable workers., "A beautifully written ethnography chronicling the international struggle for domestic workers! Jennifer Fish brings the unionization alive by weaving workers and organizers' stories into the political, economic and legal background that frames the journey of these women who organize locally, nationally and internationally. This is a must read for scholars and activists concerned about the rights of precarious women workers and the strategies for organizing vulnerable workers."-Mary Romero,author of The Maid's Daughter: Living Inside and Outside the American Dream, A beautifully written ethnography chronicling the international struggle for domestic workers! Jennifer Fish brings the unionization alive by weaving workers and organizers stories into the political, economic and legal background that frames the journey of these women who organize locally, nationally and internationally. This is a must read for scholars and activists concerned about the rights of precarious women workers and the strategies for organizing vulnerable workers., "Jennifer Fish's book is a rare account of the development of a global social movement, from growing deep local roots and developing the leadership of the least visible among us, to shaping international labor standards. This is a book for anyone looking to understand global movement building in the 21st Century, or for anyone simply looking to feel inspired by our human capacity to change the world."-Ai-Jen Poo,Director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, "Fish humanizes her "subjects" immediately, and they use their voices to shape their own destinies in ways that are inspiring and astounding given their structural constraints and realities. Fish is not the central figure in the text; rather, she performs the role of progressive ethnographic sociologist who clearly cares deeply about social justice. Throughout, she documents the domestic workers' lives -- their struggles, voices, stories, and triumphs -- and makes it clear that they can speak for themselves.... This book about social change and justice is well organized, engaging, and inclusive, and it convincingly captures the realities of domestic workers' lives. Hearing personal stories is much more interesting and powerful than hearing from policy wonks or academic experts. Anyone interested in organizing, migrant and domestic work, precarious work, women's labor, or global human rights/global activism will find something of value here. The book is not so academic as to exclude folks outside of academia -- a lovely discovery for this reader. It also offers a great dose of hope, much needed during a time when precarious employment and vulnerability around issues of work are "normal," especially for poor women. Domestic workers of the world unite, indeed.", "Domestic Workers of the World Unite! documents a significant moment in labor history.
