Equal pay for equal work for men and women

I believe there are many businesses that on their own do right by their employees in terms of pay and benefits. But too many employers continue to reject the idea of progressive workplace values--where men and women workers are treated equally, with dignity and respect. It's in these workplaces where unions play a critical role in fighting to ensure fairness, equal pay for equal work, strong workplace safety standards and reasonable job protections.
