Women's rights at work worth fighting for. Part 1.
The ACTU campaign to replace the WorkChoices legislation with fair labour laws is also a campaign for women workers. In almost every regard, the harsh impact of the Governments' new IR laws will be felt most keenly by women, because they exaggerate the disadvantage that many women face in the labour market. Women employed in jobs requiring lower skills, and those working unsocial or irregular hours of work or in 'atypical' employment will be particularly hard hit.
