Some employers have been using the system to cheat homeworkers out of their hard-earned cash, but this should make it more difficult to do so. |
It is estimated 70 per cent of garment workers are women, working in factories, sweatshops, or as homeworkers. |
Up to 170,000 homeworkers could get more money under new minimum wage regulations. |
Freelancers and homeworkers can also lose the habits of deference that oil the wheels of office life. |
Women are disproportionately employed in the so-called atypical workforce of part-timers, temporary workers, and homeworkers. |
Though more public attention has been drawn to homeworkers, eight years later, their situations have barely improved. |
