Domestic workers in Trinidad and Tobago moving toward enhancing sustainability of their cooperative
The ILO partnered with the Service Workers Centre Cooperative Society (SWCC) in Trinidad and Tobago to organize a workshop to discuss concrete steps toward enhancing the sustainability of the cooperative.

The workshop focused on topics of priority as identified by the members of SWCC including: Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) for domestic workers; further revisions to the action plan and business plan for SWCC; and validation of model employment contracts developed for SWCC in consultation with the members.

Later, the participants assessed their progress on the follow-up activities around the action plan and business plan for SWCC, which were developed during 2016-2017 with ILO support. The workshop ended with a tripartite discussion to validate the model contracts developed by an attorney at law for SWCC to ensure the protection of domestic worker members’ rights, with participation of representatives from the Ministry of Labour and employers’ and workers’ organizations.
