TUC on Women at Work Commission report

Commenting on the Women and Work Commission report published today TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said,

The scale of the continuing inequality between men and women at work still has the power to shock.

Today’s report presents a real program of action that challenges government, employers and unions to take further action to close the gap.

Of course we are disappointed that the Commission could not agree on mandatory pay audits in the private sector, but that should not obscure the positive policies that now go forward with strong endorsement by this broadly based Commission.
