Fair Work Australia ruling an historic step towards gender pay equity
Thank you sign
Fair Work Australia found that their work is undervalued and that gender has been important in creating that pay gap. It awarded pay rises of between 19% and 41% but ruled to phase-in the pay increases over eight years.
The case was brought by the Australian Services Union and supported by the Australian Government.
Nareen Young, DCA’s CEO congratulated Fair Work Australia and the parties involved in the case:
“Our society has historically valued the work that women typically do less than the work men do, especially in the community sector but also in the wider economy. Our research shows this occupational and industry segregation accounts for over a quarter of the gender pay gap and must be addressed if there is to be any real progress in closing the gap.
“The Fair Work Australia decision is of real symbolic importance and reflects a significant change in community attitudes towards ‘caring’ work and women's role in the employment market. We congratulate all parties on this historic step.
“We know there is strong public support for addressing the gender pay gap. Auspoll polling, commissioned by DCA and EOWA in 2010, showed that 76% of Australians agree that steps should be taken to close the pay gap. While addressing the gap may initially cost more, it will result in significant economic benefits in the longer term. The long phase-in period for the ruling is mindful of workplace realities and will make the transition easier for employers,” said Nareen.
Employers are already taking steps to investigate and fix pay inequity within their own organisations added Nareen:
“Many of DCA’s members have already implemented pay equity reviews, both as part of bargaining and outside the bargaining system, and DCA has assisted in many of these. We encourage others to follow their lead.”

In light of this decision should Barry O'Farrell now find the funds to increase the wages of NSW Government workers?

DS refuses to wear sandals Baby/toddler sandals aren't very comfortable. They have bits that rub against the skin and irritate. They also don't support the ankles very well, which is pretty essential at this age since they are running around at full speed. I prefer my youngest in sneakers simply because that way I don't have to worry about him scratching up his feet from random stuff outside. But if you're really set on him wearing sandals, you could try putting socks on his feet with the sandals. Or feel inside of the sandal for any rough/sharp edges that could be filed or cut off. Jonah used to be like that Christian Louboutin Outlet. His feet are VERY ticklish so it was a pain to put on sandals! But I was persistant. I put on crocs and those sandals with the velcro staps all over them Christian Louboutin Sale. Evetually he just got used to it. This summer he's able to where those and flip flops without a problem. I say just keep trying at it, I know from experience that it does take a while to get used to the toe thing in the flip flops! I went years wearing them as a kid and just quit wearing them at all until about junior year in high school Christian Louboutin Online. that took a while to get the hang of and now I love them! :D My have all been really rigid and anything totally different from what they've grown accustomed to flips them out, especially at this age. If this is yourhttp://www.christianlouboutinonline2013..../ son's problem, then I'd just persist in introducing them - leave them for him to see, try to get him to wear them for a few minutes inside - anything to get him used to the idea of wearing http://www.christianlouboutineshop2013.c.../ shoes that are different from what he's used to wearing.
