I just watched this gem iview.abc.net.au/show/made-in- & absolutely loved it. I knew nothing of this massive watershed moment til now, but expect that women 5 or 10+ years older than i might remember it from their younger days. Anyway, IMO this dramatisation / recreation of it is fabulous, & was accompanied by copious gasps from me at the breathtaking #patriarchy, #MaleEntitlement, #sexism & #misogyny, then whoops & roarrrrrrs at each brilliant thing the women achieved. Sensational. 🎉 🥳 👯‍♀️

Today in Labor History March 22, 1972: U.S. Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. It failed. And to this day, women earn 84% of what men do. One of the exceptions is public education, where teachers’ unions have fought and won the right to collectively bargain salaries based on years of experience, not gender. The first ERA was introduced to Congress in 1923. The 1972 had wide bipartisan support, including by presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and seemed destined to pass. However, Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women against the amendment, arguing that it would disadvantage housewives, make them eligible for the draft and cause divorcees to lose custody of their children. This killed the ERA in the 1970s. From 2017-2020, several states have ratified the ERA. However, it is uncertain whether these ratifications are legal, since they occurred after the deadlines. Schlafly went on to become a major player in the anti-abortion and anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ rights movements.

Today in Labor History March 13, 1979: The Marxist New Jewel movement, led by Maurice Bishop, overthrew the prime minister of Grenada. Bishop led the People’s Revolutionary Government of Grenada until 1983, when he was overthrown and executed in a coup supported by the U.S. Bishop supported anti-racist struggles around the world and the fight to end Apartheid. Under his leadership, Granada gave women equal pay to men and provided paid maternity leave. They also banned sexual discrimination and introduced free public health and literacy programs that brought the national illiteracy rate from 35% down to 5%. In 1983, the U.S. invaded Granada. 19 U.S. soldiers and 45 Grenadian soldiers died in the fighting that ensued. The invasion effectively ended the so-called “Vietnam Syndrome,” where U.S. leaders feared that overt regime change, with U.S. boots on the ground, would spark large antiwar protests, like those that rocked the nation in the 1960s and early 70s. The Grenada invasion paved the way for much more aggressive interventions like Panama, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria.

Today in Labor History March 8, 1911: The first modern International Women’s Day was celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany and the U.S. IWD has its roots in the suffrage movement of New Zealand, and leftist labor organizing in the U.S. and Europe. The earliest Women’s Days were organized by the Socialist Party of America, in New York, in 1909, and by German socialists in 1910. They chose the date of March 8 in honor of the garment workers strikes in New York that occurred on March 8, in 1857 and 1908. However, the first IWD celebrated on March 8, the current date, was in 1911. The holiday was associated primarily with far-left movements until the feminist movement adopted it in the 1960s, when it became a more mainstream celebration.

Today in Labor History March 8, 1908: Thousands of workers in the New York needle trades (mostly women) launched a strike for higher wages, shorter hours and an end to child labor. They chose this date in commemoration of the 1857 strike. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed to the Second International, that March 8 be celebrated as International Women’s Day to commemorate this strike and the one in 1857.

#GenderPayGap #EqualPay

16 %. So viel weniger Gehalt bekamen Frauen 2023 im Schnitt im Vergleich zu Männern. Klingt absurd, aber das ist tatsächlich ein Fortschritt – denn lange lag die Lohnlücke bei 21 % oder sogar 23 %.

Doch Fortschritt heißt nicht Ziel erreicht. Solange Frauen in den gleichen Berufen und Positionen weniger verdienen, braucht es bessere Tarifstrukturen, mehr Transparenz und ein Umdenken in den Unternehmen.

Der WDR hat in seiner Sendung frau tv unsere Klage mit Susanne Dumas als Beispiel genommen, wie der Weg zu #EqualPay verwirklicht werden kann!

Unser Sieg vor dem Bundesarbeitsgericht ist ein wichtiger Schritt, um den #GenderPaygap zu schließen.

Verdienen Frauen nur Mittelmaß – statt #gleicheBezahlung? Im Oktober gab das LAG Stuttgart unserer #EqualPay-Klage gegen #Daimler teilweise statt – doch das Urteil fiel weit hinter bisherige Equal-Pay-Standards zurück. Heute haben wir die Revision am Bundesarbeitsgericht eingereicht. Unsere Klägerin arbeitet seit 30 Jahren bei #Daimler. Doch die Abteilungsleiterin wird deutlich schlechter bezahlt als Männer auf gleicher Ebene. 90 Prozent der #Frauen im Daimler-Konzern geht es genauso.

Sarah Lincoln, Juristin bei der GFF: „Von Lohndiskriminierung betroffene Frauen müssen sich nicht mit dem mittleren Entgelt der Männer begnügen. Wer gleiche oder gleichwertige Arbeit verrichtet, muss dafür auch gleich bezahlt werden!“

Today, October 3, is Latina Equal Pay Day.

"Equal Pay Days raise awareness about the ongoing gender pay gap and how the pay gap varies significantly among different communities, particularly for women of color."
