***MEDIA ALERT*** Community sector workers unite in support for hard-won gender pay gains

Australian Services Union

Community sector workers and their union are campaigning to protect hard-won gender pay gains as the Fair Work Commission reviews potential undervaluation of awards.

The Fair Work Commission is considering adjustments to the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services (SCHADS) Award which could affect a landmark 2012 equal pay order that delivered pay rises to the female-dominated sector.

With thousands of community workers backing the equal pay order, the Australian Services Union will submit its feedback to the Commission on Friday morning ahead of the afternoon deadline.

WHO:

• Australian Services Union NSW & ACT Secretary Angus McFarland
• Australian Council of Trade Unions Secretary Sally McManus
• Frontline community sector workers

 

WHEN:

• Friday 5 September, 10.30am

 

WHERE:

• Fair Work Commission, 80 William St, East Sydney
