Do maids have to wear a uniform?

[uls]

yes there are people who maltreat their maids... uniformed or not. at home or in public.

But to pass judgement on someone who has uniformed maids is just wrong. its prejudice.

sa tiendesitas nga pati yaya ng aso nakauniform, bwiset talaga!!!!!!!

Wala namang kinalaman dito whether you are paying your maid P10,000 a month with SSS and Philhealth. Walang kinalaman yung benefits dito. Ang concern ko is basically just that: Do we really need to discriminate the maid in public? Mura lang naman ang jeans/slacks, blouse, or shirt. Do you really need to have them dress up in a uniform which says "At your service, Madame"?

Ho-well...

meron kinalaman ang benefits dito at pasweldo.

If the master as other said wants na nakauniform yung slave kagustuhan nya yun at consulted yung slave but yun if he treats yung slave nang tama at lahat nang karapatan nya ayun sa batas ay nasa kanya.

like: 1. minimum wage for household help
2. SSS benefit
3. Philhealth
4. 1 day day off every week
5. working hours does not exceed 12 hrs a day. [ pero eto ok lang kasi mas madami naman talaga tambay nila eh]

pero napakalaki na discrimintaion ang hndi pagsunod sa tama dahil hindi alam nang slave ang kanyang karapatan. kasi discrimination na yun na wala syang alam kaya sinasamantala mo

anong kabwiset dun!

[uls]

oo nga... ano kabwisit dun?

[CLAVEL3699]

jeez.pati pala uniform ng maids pag aawayan pa.

as what kimpoy said, depende sa situation.pano kung kasal tapos wala silang maayos na damit? a uniform is a must, imho.

tama din nagsasabi na bakit ang mga janitor..naka uniform din namn ah.ano masama sa uniform??

and i agree with the wage thing. imbis na uniform ang puntiryahin niyo, ayusin ang paswledo sa mga maids na nagpapakahirap araw araw tanggalin ang mga skidmarks sa mga brip niyo.

yes glen away talaga to 'coz yung thread is kinda generalizing people. parang lahat na nang maid na nakauniporme ang sama sama na nang amo.

tama si boybi wag naman lahatin.

entertaining, the responses. Makes me wonder why some people are so worked up on such a simple topic.

[uls]

i cant put my finger on it kanina but know its becoming kinda clear.

Its a mix of envy and hate. its not really about sympathy for the servant. its about envy and hate towards the master.

Very leftist ang slant.

do u think this is a simple topic?

judging one person is not a simple topic.

As for the SSS, this is highly debatable since a lot of low to middle-income households that have kasambahays would not be able to afford SSS, Pag-iBig and what have you...

My kasambahay has been with us for 11 years. She has been with my wife's family for 15 years before my wifr and I got married. While we do not provide her SSS, we do send her off on a one month paid vacation per year, complete with a month's salary of pocket money. She also has a year-end bonus. Whatever food or happy occasion we have in our house, she can partake. We take care of her medical bills and we even provided her with her own celfone so that she can call her family in the province. Yung load, sya na. She is part of our family and we treat her siblings as next of kin. We sometimes take care of their needs, resources permitting.

Halos pareho lang pala tayo ng sitwasyon. Our househelp has been under the employ of my wife's family for nearly 10 years. We may be unable to pay for our househelp's SSS and her other benefits, but we make up for it somehow in other respects. My mother-in-law is supporting one of her daughters through college. We also deduct a percentage of our bonuses (13th month, etc.) para may bonus din siya. Basta may handa sa bahay, lagi siyang may uwi. We paid for her hospital bills when she came down with amoebiasis, and she was even given her own cellphone (kahit nasa bahay lang siya most of the time). Walking distance lang yung bahay niya from our place, kaya tipid din siya sa pamasahe.

Wala nga lang yung paid vacation; we can't even get her to go to the mall for a day off! Hindi siya mahilig mamasyal, she wants be close by in case her kids need her, and I guess she would rather see the money go to other things, such as expenses for her grandchild. Isinumpa na nga niya yung asawa niya eh, since he left her long ago for another woman (running joke sa bahay na nilamon ng kumunoy yung mister niya) and we sometimes rib her about looking for another boyfriend.

[orly]

hanap na lang po tayo ng yaya sa umaga, yayarin sa gabi, ( joke lang po!)

Nung una ako makakita ng yaya na naka uniform medyo naawa po ako sa situations nila
pero nung makita ko po yung itsura ng boss nilang babae mas naintindihan ko po kung bakit kailangan nila mag suot ng uniform. Kc ang taba nung boss nila at mas ***y po sila kesa sa boss nila.

peace po!

in case u didnt notice, this topic has evolved beyond the uniformed maid... its now about prejudice.

very revealing ang topic na ito. kita mo paano iniinterpret ng tao ang mga nakikita nila.

[revoGSX]

ang mga nurses ba ok lang sayo na naka uniform?
ang mga teachers na naka uniform e feeling mo rin ba dinidikdik sa kanila ang pagiging teacher nila?
AND, nakakahiya ba ang pagiging maid? nakakahiya ba ang maging isang metro aide na naka uniform din? hindi ba nagkakaroon ng double standard na ang mga janitors ok lang na naka uniform samantalang ang mga maids/yaya e nakakahiya, napaka degrading kung ipagsuot ng uniform?

kaya nga nagagalit mga nurses and pharmacist dahil minsan katulad nila uniform ng maid hehe

yung janitors, teachers, metro aide eh hindi sila nakatira sa loob ng bahay natin..so kung ano yung kalokohan nila eh di tayo apektado agad.. and they are supposed to be paid with minimum wage..

yung maid, sila nagluluto ng pagkain natin, sila naglalaba ng brief natin, sila nag-aalaga ng mga anak natin at iba pa....
giving them uniforms will make the public think, bayad ba ng minimum wage yan? for sure hindi dahil may maid din kami na average lang sweldo pero libre naman food and tulog so na-factor-in na din..

kaya for me, no need for maid to wear a uniform unless mas maganda daw sila sa misis mo hehe..

pero i think eh naka-uniform man o hindi, kelangan bigyan din sila ng respect and fair treatment..

this is just my opinion lang po..

[cumbersome]

So long as the uniform is not shabby, it shouldn't be a problem. Because if you think of it as discrimination, then maybe you need to look at your own perception of what a maid is and what she stands for. It's an honest living, so why should it be any different from other occupations.

[Bogeyman]

To those who have a dim view of employers whose servants wear uniforms:

Every time na nakikita ko si Sharon Cuneta sa ABS, lagi niyang kasama yung Yaya Loring niyang may edad na, at nakasuot pa ng white uniform. So ibig sabihin ba nun, tinatapakan na ni Sharon ang pagkato niya, just because Yaya Loring wears a uniform?

Mayabang at masamang amo pala si Sharon kung ganun, hindi dapat tularan, if we were to follow your logic. :D

[5Speed]

maid with or without uniform, wala akong makitang mali dito....

tama si uls, its in anybody's perception whether its a good or a bad thing.... and most of the people jump into some sort of conclusion regarding the situation....

para bang yung istorya na kapag ang isang napaka-ganda at napakaseksing babae (let's say na around 5'8" ang ht.) na naglalakad at may ka-holding hands na bansot (let's say 5' lang ang ht.), mataba at pangit na guy eh ang perception ng iba eh.....

1. pre, sigurado ako na mayaman yung lalaki...
2. naku...mare ang tanga naman nung babae ang ganda nya tapos ganon lang yung pinatulan nya....
3. tol, malamang daku ang kargada ni manong.....(harharahrahrhar!!!!)
4. kosa, mali ka....malamang eh mahaba ang dila ni Dong.....
5.


herherherherher get the drift???

[CLAVEL3699]

Mas madalas kasing makita sa public places na kinakawawa or parang alipin kung turing ng mga amo sa mga uniformed maids nila (just like yebo's story which is talagang nangyayari) kaya ganun na lang ang perception ng karamihan.

Give you nang example dito.

Aaminin ko nakauniform yaya nang anak ko [ 2yrs old ]. Certified midwife sya.

Pagkakain ka sa labas syempre kasama ang yaya at anak ko.

Paano kami kakain nang tatlo sabay sino mag aalaga sa anak ko na super likot.

Ang ginagawa namin minsan pina-uuna ko kumain ang asawa ko at yung yaya or kaming mag asawa muna ang kakain kung syempre mahihiya si yaya. hehehe

kung may makakakita ba nito sasabihin ang sama namin kasi kami kumakain tapos yung yaya hindi. Unfair naman yun dba kasi may usapan na kami pagtapos ko or yung wife ko kumain kukunin ko na anak ko para makakain si yaya.

Minsan talaga may lumapit na matanda sa amin sabi sa yaya ko bat hindi daw namin sya pinakakain ang sama daw nang ugali namin, ang sinagot nang yaya ko tapos na po ako, ako ang unang kumain kasabay ko po si ate. hehehehe paya yung matanda pakialamera kasi.

sana before we judge something sana alamin muna.

pareho pala tayo. usually, pinapakain muna ng yaya yung anak ko, pag tapos na si misis kumain, sya naman magpapakain sa anak ko para makakain na ang yaya. kahit nga mag Dad's kami kasama pati si yaya. nung nagka honor nga yung anak ko sa school, binigyan ni misis si yaya ng gold necklace dahil sya nagtutor sa anak ko kapag hindi available si misis.
