KUWAIT CITY Aug 3: In response to a recent circular issued by the Ethiopian Ministry of Labor, the Union of Domestic Workers Recruitment Offices in Kuwait has submitted an official protest, reports Al-Jarida daily. The circular set the monthly salaries for Addis Ababa workers arriving in Kuwait at 120 dinars for experienced women and 110 dinars for those who don’t have any experience. It also established a commission of $1,300 (approximately 400 dinars) to be paid by Kuwaiti offices for each worker. He also noted that it incentivizes foreign offices to send workers to neighboring countries instead of Kuwait. He also stressed the importance of involving the Union in all decisions related to the recruitment and use of domestic workers, as it represents the interests of the recruitment offices.
