Collective Bargaining and Gender Equalities at work

Felicity Steadman speaks with Susan Hayter of the ILO about how trade unions and management can address gender inequalities in the workplace,  in particular by:

• addressing the gender pay gap in the bargaining process;
• re-evaluating jobs to ensure that jobs traditionally done by men and women are valued equally;
• negotiating maternity and parental leave agreements, and extending them to offer options such as flexible working time arrangements and care services;
• addressing issues of gender-based violence at work and domestic violence.
