Women and men took part in protests and called on the government to fix the 1951 Convention and make equal pay law in Australia. In 1969, the Australasian Meat Industry Employees Union filed an action against the Meat and Allied Trades Federation at ACAC. Workers advocated equal pay for every employee and the Commission`s decision was that the general female minimum wage was 85 per cent of men`s wages. This decision helped ensure that women who had the same job as men were equally paid, but all other women got 85 percent. In 1972, the decision was re-evaluated and provides that either women or men working in a similar job of similar value are entitled to the same rate of work. [46] The right to equal pay applies to many different work regimes, including: a criticism of equal pay for work of equal value is the lack of appropriate comparison mechanisms, it is based on underlying impressions and not on actual facts and statistics. As in the previous example, we can prove when checking the statistical data of the US BLS that it is a false statement that electricians earn more than nurses. . .
