什麼是「照顧正義」?是確保在照顧過程中,不論是照顧者或被照顧者,沒有人遭到剝削、被犧牲或受傷害。
What is “justice in caring”? it’s to make sure that in the process of caring, no one is exploited, sacrificed or hurt — neither caretakers nor patients.
然而,現在的22萬家務移工不受《勞基法》保障,無法自由轉換雇主;薪水只有15840-17000元之間,平均每日工時卻達14個小時以上;必須24小時在雇主家中,除了沒有私人空間,甚至三年沒有休過一天假。這樣的勞動條件,如何提供穩定與良好的照顧品質?如何實現「照顧正義」?
Today, 220,000 migrant caretakers are not included under the “Labor Standard Law”, nor allowed to change jobs freely. Their salary is only NT. 15,840-17,000, their working hours average more than 14 hours per day. They are forced to stay in their employer’s house 24 hours a day. Aside from having no private space, they have are not even allowed one day off in a whole year. How should we expect decent quality care from workers whose working conditions are so harsh? How can we implement justice in caring?
目前投入總統選舉的三大黨,對於當下家務移工的勞動處境了然於胸,也知道如果要建構一個完整的長照體系、要提供失能者有品質的服務,都必須重新擺放家務移工的位置,將家務移工納入長照體系內,並受法規保障。但是三大黨總統候選人卻不約而同的,在長照政見中隻字不提家務移工,使在台灣的22萬家務移工「被隱形」。
The presidential candidates from 3 parties know well that the working conditions for domestic migrant caretakers are terrible. They also know that if the working conditions of the migrant domestic caretakers are not changed and put under legal protection, there can be no complete long term care system, nor can we have long term care with quality. But all 3 parties choose to ignore migrant domestic caretakers. They say nothing about migrant domestic caretakers in their election policies and do their best to keep them invisible.
我們主張,建構完整長照體系的第一步,就是看見並正視這些家務移工的勞動處境。唯有照顧人的人能受到人性、合理的對待,被照顧的人才能獲得有品質的照顧。
We demand that the very first step to establish a complete long term care system should be to face the working conditions of migrant domestic workers. Only when the caretakers are treated fairly and humanely will patients receive better quality care.
