Domestic labor has always been organized along sexist and exploitative lines. However, the form of reproduction, regulation, and repression of domestic workers has changed significantly over time and therefore entails different struggles and strategies for resistance. By analyzing recent transformations of regimes for domestic labor in Lebanon and Belgium, the article aims at shedding light on continuities, comparisons, and connections between how domestic work is organized around the globe. Both the increasing commodification of the sector and the central role of female migrant workers have reinforced the role of private brokers and agencies organizing the sector in cooperation with the state. Maintaining labor struggles and autonomy of workers requires therefore diverse anti‐racist, feminist, state‐critical, and unconventional approaches in order to react to the logistification and multiplication of domestic labor. The role of traditional unions has been pivotal in the foundation of a union for domestic work in Lebanon and in the introduction of a regulated service voucher system in Belgium. We will argue that the compromises and discourses adopted by the unions have to be critically challenged in order to allow for autonomous, feminist and anti‐capitalist approaches to take the struggles further in swaying a regulatory infrastructure for domestic work toward the interests of workers.

充满挑战的家庭劳动力基础设施：对黎巴嫩和比利时的劳动力组织的启示

家庭劳务一直是按照性别歧视和剥削性组织的。但是，随着时间的流逝，家政工人的再生产，管制和镇压形式发生了显着变化，因此需要采取不同的斗争和抵抗策略。通过分析黎巴嫩和比利时家庭佣工制度的最新变化，本文旨在阐明全球范围内家庭佣工的组织方式之间的连续性，比较性和联系性。该部门日趋商品化以及移徙女工的中心作用都加强了与国家合作组织该部门的私人经纪人和中介机构的作用。因此，维持劳动斗争和工人自治需要多样化的反种族主义，女权主义，国家批判，和非常规方法，以应对家政劳动的后勤化和繁衍。传统工会的作用对于建立黎巴嫩家庭佣工工会以及在比利时引入受管制的服务券系统至关重要。我们将争辩说，工会所采取的妥协和话语必须受到严峻挑战，以便允许自主，女权主义和反资本主义的方法进一步努力为家庭利益摇摆监管基础结构，以争取工人的利益。
