“…Table 1 provides an overview of domestic workers' organizations, their international affiliation, the number of members, and the total number of domestic workers in each country. For reasons well‐detailed in the literature, such as dispersion of the workforce, individualized working relationships, emotional bonds to the employers, and rejection of the very status of domestic workers, this sector is considered “hard to organize” (Acciari, 2016; Bapat, 2014; Bonner & Spooner, 2011; Brites, 2014; Kabeer et al., 2013). Therefore, the number of members is relatively small compared to other sectors and to the total number of domestic workers in each country.…”

Domestic workers were one of the most negatively affected groups by COVID‐19 in Latin America, yet they have also been resisting and mobilizing in impressive and innovative ways. This article shows that domestic workers' organizations were able to adapt to an extremely adverse context in order to protect their members and defend their rights. Furthermore, their mobilizations provide an alternative vision of society grounded on love and solidarity and offer concrete ways forward to “build back better.” Indeed, their core campaign, “Care for those who care for you”, demands the recognition of care work as real work and fair treatment for those who provide this care. Based on an analysis of this campaign, I have identified 3 repertoires of care‐resistance: the promotion of self‐care and well‐being, concrete practices of solidarity through the distribution of humanitarian aid, and legal mobilizations for the recognition of care as a fundamental right. I argue that these forms of action contribute to feminist ethics and theories of care and that putting forward the right to care and be cared for in times of crisis is an act of resistance.

“…O benefício possui o valor de 1 salário-mínimo pelo período de 3 meses e, para obtê-lo, a trabalhadora precisa apresentar o registro em carteira por pelo menos 15 dos últimos 24 meses. Dentre outros problemas, como a quantidade reduzida de parcelas e a possibilidade de o empregador não compensar as horas extras trabalhadas nos primeiros 12 meses em caso de demissão por justa causa (Acciari, 2016), o seguro cobre apenas as mensalistas e as diaristas com jornada de trabalho de pelo menos 3 dias semanais. O resultado é a desproteção das trabalhadoras domésticas com inserção instável no mercado.…”

RESUMO Este artigo discute a trajetória do seguro-desemprego brasileiro no período 1986-2019. De início, as mudanças legais do seguro são debatidas à luz da conjuntura econômica e das disputas sociopolíticas de cada período. Em seguida, o artigo analisa os indicadores de efetividade do seguro, notadamente a cobertura, a duração do benefício e a reposição salarial. Por fim, calculo o Índice de Desmercantilização ( Decommodification Index ) do seguro-desemprego, seguindo a proposta de Esping-Andersen (1990). O objetivo é analisar o seguro-desemprego brasileiro no período 1996-2017 e, em seguida, compará-lo com os modelos existentes na OCDE. Os resultados atestam o enfraquecimento recente da proteção ao desemprego, o que coloca o ano de 2017 na segunda pior posição da série histórica, em decorrência da desestruturação do mercado de trabalho e de uma reforma restritiva do seguro-desemprego em 2015. Ademais, o Índice de Desmercantilização do seguro brasileiro é o menor dentre os países analisados, sobretudo devido a uma cobertura efetiva residual, dada a distância entre as regras do seguro (pensadas para mercados de trabalho estruturados) e as características da força de trabalho nacional.

“…For example, in Colombia, there are more than 700,000 domestic workers (DANE, 2018). Ethnographic studies on domestic workers' labor rights in LA revolve mainly around the complex, emotional, and hierarchical relationships between employers and domestic workers (Brites, 2000, 2013; Gorban, 2012; Gorbán and Tizziani, 2018; Osorio Pérez, 2018; Tizziani, 2011); care chains and migration to the Global North (Ehrenreich and Hochschild, 2002; Killias, 2018; Montoya-Robledo, 2011); and collective action and unionization to ensure these rights (Acciari, 2016; León, 2013; Maich, 2014; Montoya, 2019; Osorio Pérez, 2018; Tizziani, 2011).…”

Breathing in and out: Domestic workers high exposure to air pollution in Bogota’s public transportation system

More than 150,000 low-income women perform domestic work in Bogotá, Colombia. They are captive public transit commuters, traveling from low-income to high and middle-income residential sites for work. However, the transport system between these neighborhoods suffers from missing links. Hence, domestic workers spend more time commuting to work relative to any other urban worker in Bogotá. Moreover, the system affects domestic workers’ overall health conditions, where they inhale high doses of air contaminants. In the face of laws and policies in place perpetuating patriarchy, violence, and segregation, these poor and often-racialized women face a conundrum: they must ensure their livelihood facing pervasive health hazards. This paper analyzes the lived realities of domestic workers in terms of their commutes and the environmental hazards they face, depicting grounded legal geography. Fundamentally, it examines how legally constituted housing markets and related transportation infrastructure contribute to highly gendered and class-based geographical divides, placing domestic workers into the spatial and policy periphery and making their bodies disposable, but obliging them to negotiate these divides using inadequate and death-delivering transportation infrastructure. Finally, it reflects on the city’s planning methods that often ignore important gender, social, and economic considerations. Based on a mixed-methods approach, the paper brings material that is not often placed together, including a study of exposure to particulate matter, transportation, and legal analysis, decentering current ontologies by connecting law, environment, public health, gender, and class divides, and grounding legal geography on the daily commuting experiences of domestic workers.
