The fight for childcare work to be valued, and paid, properly

 
EXCERPTS
The Fair Work Commission recently put an end to a five year battle by unions for a 35% pay increase for childcare educators.
The unions had been arguing that gender inequality is seeing such work undervalued.
But according to the Commission, gender inequality is not an issue. In dismissing the unions’ application, the Commission claimed they had failed to provide “any evidence whatsoever” that gender inequality was behind childcare work being undervalued.
