Finally the strike concluded Saturday night. From Sunday the maids began coming.
Here is what I could find out.
1. The maids have a very strong union here. Most of the maids are part of the union.
2. When a maid was caught stealing, she was handed over to the police and a FIR was filed. The union of the maids are against this.
3. The maid caught stealing was a Muslim woman and the union is citing intolerance as the excuse and not robbery.
So now the complex has issued some Dos and Do Nots.
1. Do not trust the maids blindly.
2. Do not leave valuables lying around the house.
3. Do not give notice to your maids right before Diwali when they want Bonus.
I am not sure I see a Do here. Just a list of Do Not.
And now my complex is telling everyone to go buy a vacuum cleaner and a dishwasher and get rid of the maids. That simple??
