Women@Work March 2005, Year 75 of Women's Council

PSA Women’s Council is 75 this year. This Women@Work is a bumper issue commemorating that milestone.

Women @ Work can be downloaded from the attachment link at the bottom of this introduction.

It focuses on the great issues where Women's Council has been central to the PSA's successes - equal pay and maternity leave - and touches on many other activities. Some the great female leaders are featured.

It's an unfinished story. There are current campaigns, such as the bullying campaign, and there are many aspects of equity which are being addressed. The 2030 bumper issue will undoubtedly feature additional successes, some from the current era, and new objectives.

Much of the work of Women's Council, and Women@Work, is the persistent hard work of presenting the merits of the causes and keeping them before our members and councils, our colleagues throughout the union movement, and before the public. That's a big part of winning objectives of improving the living standards and rights of our members.
