Dust and Dignity : Domestic Employment in Contemporary Ecuador
What makes domestic work a bad job, even after efforts to formalize and improve working conditions?Erynn Masi de Casanova's case study, based partly on collaborative research conducted with Ecuador's pioneer domestic workers' organization, examines three reasons for persistent exploitation.First, the tasks of social reproduction are devalued.Second, informal work arrangements escape regulation. And third, unequal class relations are built into this type of employment.Accessible to advocates and policymakers as well as academics, this book provides both theoretical discussions about domestic work and concrete ideas for improving women's lives. Drawing on workers' stories of lucha, trabajo, and sacrificio—struggle, work, and sacrifice—Dust and Dignity offers a new take on an old occupation.From the intimate experience of being a body out of place in an employer's home, to the common work histories of Ecuadorian women in different cities, to the possibilities for radical collective action at the national level, Casanova shows how and why women do this stigmatized and precarious work and how they resist exploitation in the search for dignified employment.From these searing stories of workers' lives, Dust and Dignity identifies patterns in domestic workers' experiences that will be helpful in understanding the situation of workers elsewhere and offers possible solutions for promoting and ensuring workers' rights that have relevance far beyond Ecuador.

What is allergic asthma and how is it related to a pollen allergy?
Allergic asthma is a type of asthma that is triggered by exposure to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. When a person with allergic asthma comes into contact with these allergens, their immune system overreacts, causing the airways in their lungs to become inflamed and narrow, leading to asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Pollen allergy specifically refers to an allergic reaction to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, which can trigger allergic asthma in susceptible individuals when inhaled. Therefore, allergic asthma and pollen allergy are related in that exposure to pollen can trigger allergic asthma symptoms in individuals with a pollen allergy.

What types of employment references are there: qualified employment reference or simple employment reference?
There are two types of employment references: qualified employment references and simple employment references. A qualified employment reference is provided by someone who has directly supervised or worked closely with the individual, and can speak to their skills, abilities, and work performance. On the other hand, a simple employment reference is typically provided by someone who may not have worked closely with the individual, such as a colleague or HR representative, and can only confirm basic details like job title and dates of employment. Qualified employment references are generally more valuable to potential employers as they provide more detailed insights into the candidate's capabilities.
