Court rebuffs plea from domestic workers for better pay and respect

Domestic workers are among those who took part in a February protest in New Delhi demanding a guaranteed minimum wage and other protections. In January, an Indian court did not support a petition on their behalf.

They're often paid low wages and lack job protections. A petition to the country's supreme court to support their demands did not see success — and they are protesting.
