The work of cleaning, socially devalued and alienated as quintessentially female and migrant labor, is the "privileged" field of informal and precarious wage labor and all its distinguishing features: harsh exploitation, violation of labor legislation and social rights, humiliating and often fictitious wages, arbitrary employer practices.
The murderous attack against Konstantina Kuneva brought to light crucial issues of a new labor regime, the main characteristic of which is precarity.
The texts in the collection explore the historical roots as well as the contemporary policies that define certain forms of employment as non-work and exclude categories of workers from social and labor rights.
