Title: Women Will Rise – Recalling the Working Women’s Charter
Author: SIMPKIN GAY

In the late 1970s, as the women’s movement was fracturing, trade union women put forward a new agenda to bring feminists
and women workers together. The onepage,16-clause Working Women’s Charter covered …
the right to work; equal pay for work of equal value; an end to discrimination at work; better conditions, family leave, flexible work arrangements; free, quality childcare; reproductive rights… and more.
Challenged by patriarchal union traditions, the women worked hard to win union support for their demands.
