There’s now just a month to go until
Equal Pay Day 2009. In the run-up to 30th October individuals and
groups across the country will be taking action to mark the day that
women effectively receive their last pay cheque of the year. This is
because the 17.1% full-time gender pay gap is equivalent to men being
paid all year ...round while women work for free after 30th October. Equal
Pay Day 2009 is calling on the Government to get tough on pay
inequality in the UK.

The gender pay gap isn’t inevitable. Equal Pay Day 2009 is our opportunity to do something about it.
