Ratification as International Solidarity: Reflections on Switzerland and Decent Work for Domestic Workers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
On November 12, 2014, the Swiss government notified the International Labour Organization (ILO) of its ratification of Convention 189 on Decent Work for Domestic Workers. In joining, Switzerland proclaimed that its laws were in conformity with Convention No. 189. Ratification, it was argued, would constitute an act of international solidarity. Convention No. 189 and Recommendation No. 201 have provided a strong basis of alternative legality to the inequitable 'law of the home-workplace' that has historically governed domestic work. Ratification provides one point of entry into a community of practice, through which the ILO and its Members may foster an ongoing process of regulatory innovation, and structural social change. In this article, we reflect on the meaning to be given to Swiss invocations of international solidarity, resolutely situating the notion within a broader framework that extends beyond recognition, to include representation, and redistribution.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
