Today is the annual observance of International Equal Pay Day. We stand with women workers worldwide in the fight to close the #genderpaygap and achieve equal pay for work of equal value. This persistent gap is a fundamental inequality that undermines women’s rights, jeopardises women’s income security, and impedes sustainable economic development. To close the gender pay gap globally at the current rate will take 257 years! Read more at https://lnkd.in/gQGDjEeP

In 2020, Health and Community Services Union (HACSU) began the Reproductive Health Leave campaign to ensure any person, regardless of their reproductive health challenges, can fully and meaningfully participate in work, and in turn are afforded the social and economic security they rightfully deserve. Today on World Sexual Health Day, we are pushing to see RHL go national for all workers, and we need your support! Learn more about our RHL campaign and sign the petition: https://lnkd.in/gSDbY8wA

From today, workers across the country have a new right in the Fair Work Act - the ‘Employee Right to Disconnect’. It's designed to protect workers who do not wish to engage with their workplace outside of their working hours. Our Union has proudly campaigned for the last decade for "No Pay No Way". Why? Because we believe it's important to protect work/life balance. What is changing and where can you find more information? Go here! https://lnkd.in/gfyrVXdh

Today is Equal Pay Day It marks the 50 days into the new financial year that Australian women must work to earn the same, on average, as men did last year. This year's theme is "it doesn't add up." The national gender pay gap measures the difference between the average weekly full-time base salary earnings of women and men, expressed as a percentage of men’s earnings. It is a measure of women’s overall position in the paid workforce and does not compare like roles. Equal pay is the concept of women and men being paid the same for performing the same role or different work of equal or comparable value. In Australia, this has been a legal requirement since 1969. The gender pay gap is different to equal pay. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency's research has identified three main contributors to Australia’s gender pay gap: * gender discrimination (36%) * care, family responsibilities and workforce participation (33%), * gender segregation by job type and industry (24%) Read more about it at: https://lnkd.in/gvp6vMj5
