Speaking up for equal pay | Lutter haut et fort en faveur de l’égalité salariale
- Details
- Published on Friday, 08 November 2019 16:47
We’re delighted to report that our campaign to reverse the illegal pay cut for UNOG staff is getting great support from people and organizations everywhere, with fellow unions giving public backing to our call for equal pay.
The UNICEF Geneva Staff Association has written a letter to the Secretary General about this and called upon him to face staff in Geneva at a townhall meeting. Our colleagues at the UNEP Geneva Staff Association have done the same and written their letter to the Secretary-General.
The ILO Staff Union has given us a strong message of solidarity, and this is particularly welcome as staff there have seen the illegal pay cut reversed and they still support the same for UNOG staff. The decision to reverse the cut was backed by the International Organisation of Employers (click here) as well as the global union federation Public Services International (click here), showing that management and staff can be as one on this vital issue.
This support goes alongside the many messages and stories we are receiving of how UNOG staff are being affected by the illegal pay cut. Find these and the latest news on the campaign on:
Twitter: @EqualPayUNStaff
Facebook: @EqualPay4UNstaff
Remember, please use the hashtag #EqualPay4UNstaff if you’re tweeting or showing support in social media.
It’s great that support is growing for our campaign. Let’s keep moving forward and keep fighting for UN staff so we can finally get equal pay justice.
