London Socialist Feminist Discussion Group: Equal Pay

Topics:
27/07/2007 - 7:30pm
27/07/2007 - 9:15pm

The London Socialist Feminist Discussion Group meets monthly. Everyone is
welcome to attend the debates and discussions, which are very informal.

Our planned programme of discussions includes such things as Sex Work, Women
in the Russian Revolution, Emma Goldman, What will Socialism Be Like, Engels
Revisted.

We continue our programme on Friday 27 July with a discussion on Equal Pay

In 1968, a group of female sewing machinists went on strike against a
sex-biased grading structure. The 1970 Equal Pay Act followed shortly after.
But women are still paid significantly less than men. Why is that? What can
we do about it?

We will be showing some filmed interviews with women — e.g. women involved
in the Ford strike — who have fought against low paid. Followed by a talk
led by Lynne Moffat and discussion.
