Meet resistance with persistence (Agenda 2018)

Are you getting tired of expressions like ‘everyday’ sexism (or racism or homophobia) which can be explained away as ‘unconscious bias’? Even ‘persistent sexism’ has a dispassionate edge as though it is just there. Let’s call it out for what is going on – as women are gaining ground on gender equity, men with power and privilege to lose are actively resisting us. More...

The Gender Pay Gap… and how Superannuation can help (Agenda 2018)

Talk of the gender pay gap continues (ad infinitum). It has just been announced it is the lowest in 20 years. Still, it is almost 50 years since the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission ruled on historic equal pay cases which would supposedly fix the gender pay gap.
In higher education, it’s not ‘simply’ a matter of running an equal pay case based on work value. In our sector, the pay gap is more likely caused by differences in bonuses and loadings paid to men and women in the same roles, by the prevalence of insecure employment and by career breaks which stall women’s earnings and superannuation contributions.

Equal Pay Day 2018 - while we are making ground, there is still a long way to go

Equal Pay Day this year has fallen on the last day of August (31st, to be precise) and in doing so, marks 62 additional days that women need to work following the end of the financial year to earn the same pay as men. 
The good news (if there is such a thing as good news about inequity) is that the gender pay gap has fallen to a 20 year low, to 14.6% (down from 15.3%).  What this means is that  women are earning $245 less than men each week, instead of $253.70 less a week last year. More...
