We've had it for a couple of years now and the gender pay gap is not going away.

In fact, in some finance companies, it's actually getting worse.

So there's a necessity now, we believe, for companies to co-develop, to collectively bargain on agreed action plans that have reduction targets, time bound targets, that look at gender audits on performance ratings, because performance ratings are often linked to performance related pay.

So we want gender audits on that.

We want a culture of flexible working, remote working, hybrid working, part time working companies.

At all levels of the companies, because again, there's research to say that a lot of women won't apply for promotions for fear of losing some of the flexibility that they have.

And we want to end that barrier.

We want that much greater equality in the workplace.

We feel that collectively bargain plans are a necessity.

Yeah, well, we're already collectively bargaining with a lot of employers to implement it.

So I think that will put pressure on the government to legislate quickly and they need to do it.
