As a result of a UN Women-funded project to mobilize domestic workers and strengthen union capacity in Trinidad and Tobago, the National Union of Domestic Employees has enhanced its participation in policy discussions and national decision-making. The union was appointed for a second term on the country’s Minimum Wages Board, representing it on the National Domestic Workers Committee. That committee has created a national register for domestic workers, launched in March 2012, and allows for inspectors to carry out proactive inspections in the work environments of domestic workers to ensure compliance with the existing legislation. The union has also made recommendations for new domestic work legislation now before Cabinet.
