The Australian Council of Trade Unions is claiming lack of action on gender inequality in the workforce.
According to reports 90,000 women had lost their jobs between May and August, compared to 25,000 men, while in New South Wales alone, nearly two-thirds of all jobs lost since the lockdown began in June, had been held by women.
The ACTU’S president Michele O’Neil says, “The Morrison government is overseeing a faltering recovery which is entrenching insecurity and gender inequality in the Australian workforce.”
