Do maids have to wear a uniform?

[uls]

If the point is political correctness, then why not just NOT hire maids?

People have their preferences. My preference is no need for uniforms. what is important to me is how do they carry thier responsibilities.

Sa akin, hindi na kailangan ng uniform kasi medyo degrading nga ang dating. Nowadays wala na kaming katulong kasi gustong kong lumaki yung anak ko sa sarili niya na walang nagsusubo habang kumakain, tagakuha ng tubig kapag nauuhaw, etc. Pero a few years ago, when my son was born, we hired a maid. We treat her as a part of our family since she treats and take care of us like her own family.

Sakin lang, it's like stepping on them even when you know they're subordinates... Sobrang concerned ang amo sa image nya being a boss and may alalay sya.

C'mon, it's not like they are required to face customers doing sales or have to impress anyone.

For me, kayabangan ng amo.

kami 2 maid namin, wala uniform. kung wala sila decent clothes for going out then binibilihan namin sila. iba pa yung 1 month bonus pag xmas saka xmas gift. as many here said, family ang treatment namin.

OT: kwento ko lang, minsan meron kami nakasabay kumain sa jollibee couple with 2 kids and 2 maids in uniform. sarap ng kain ng 4 na "masters", yung 2 maids andun lang sa tabing table nakatingin panay lang lunok ng laway. tapos hindi pa nakuntento sa kinakain yung lalaki pinapila nya ulit yung maid tapos nag-order ulit. para sa kanila lang hindi kasama yung 2 maid sa kainan. and it was 12 noon! ginawa namin ng wife ko we ordered 2 happy meals then gave it to the 2 maids. sama ng tingin sa amin ng mga "masters"! now is that a way to treat your househelp?

degrading?

Hindi naman degrading pagiging maid ah.

Depende din naman yan sa tinitirhan mo. Like sa bahay nang parents ko kailangan nang nakauniform ang maid kase regulation nang village yun for security purposes.

Lahat nang maid and drivers or kasambahay kailangan my ID at nakaregister ang pic nila sa guard house kasi hindi sila pwde maglabas masok sa village.

Sa mall naman security purposes pa din para madali marecognize nang guard if itatakbo na anak mo.

But still kailangan pa din pakisamahan sila nang maayos ang treat them with respect and part of the family.

sobrang kupal naman amo nun

IMO no need to have them wear uniform.

kapag mas maganda ang maid kaysa sa misis,
dapat mag-uniform nga si maid.

Why would it be politically incorrect to hire a maid? Besides, I don't think that's the point of this thread.
