It's #equalpayday 2020. 50 yrs since UK Equal Pay Act women still earn much less than men. Post-covid that gap could even widen. So here's to all those past, present and future who push for fairness at work. @fawcettsociety https://t.co/5mAJTvoLwQ

Today marks #EqualPayDay in the UK – the day in the year when, based on average pay data for those in full-time work, women metaphorically stop being paid.

Today is #EqualPayDay - when women effectively stop getting paid compared to men. Wear an #EqualPay facemask to shine a light on pay discrimination. Read more: https://t.co/qGutaitM36

New Fawcett data shows strong public support for pay rises and sick pay for social care workers. 8/10 care workers are women, they are low paid and have poor working conditions. Coronavirus highlights how work done by women is still undervalued. https://t.co/J9qxzdvcKt #ValueCare

Today on the 50th Anniversary of the #EqualPay Act, Labour Leader @Keir_Starmer has announced his support for Fawcett’s campaign to give women the #RightToKnow. This would give women access to info they need if they suspect they're paid unequally.

50 yrs ago today, women were given the right to #EqualPay. So why is pay discrimination still happening? Thank you to Labour Leader @Keir_Starmer who has just backed Fawcett’s campaign for the legal #RightToKnow, so that women can find out if they are being paid unequally.

[Virago Press @ViragoBooks]

Fifty years ago today the #EqualPay Act was passed. A key moment in the on-going fight for equality across race, gender and social standing. The struggle is not over.

Last year @EqualCarrie joined us on the #ViragoPodcast to talk about her experience: https://t.co/ICfXLzQ4v1

What do you wish you’d known at 18? This. Can’t think of a better book to buy for every school and university leaver than @BBCCarrie’s. Such a witty as well as practical book on putting the fair play into work and play in adult life...
