National Day of Action for Equal Pay – Wednesday, June 8

Posted 2 June 2011 by John Pezy (Flinders University)

The Australian Services Union is organising a National Day of Action in support of equal pay in the community services sector. While the campaign had a great victory with Fair Work Australia acknowledging that workers in the sector suffer a gender-based pay gap, it has yet to announce a final decision on the measures to address the inequity. Supporters of equal pay will be rallying around the country on Wednesday June 8th to show their support for real action.
