From equal pay to overcoming undervaluation
Australian feminists have struggled to define the International Labour Organisation’s Equal Remuneration Convention’ goal of gender pay equity and find a platform for achieving it. Approaches based on discrimination, or a male comparator, have proved unworkable. Networking nationally and internationally, the National Pay Equity Coalition (1988–2011) formulated many submissions to industrial tribunals and parliamentary inquiries. Early interventio…
Archiving the Records of the National Pay Equity Coalition (NPEC), 1988-2011
We decided to embark on our almost-completed project of archiving the records of the National Pay Equity Coalition (NPEC) for two reasons. First, women activists campaigning for pay equity seemed to be in danger of reinventing the wheel. So much of what we had researched and written about was still vitally relevant but was invisible because it had been produced before the digital era. We needed to get that information out there

Doing Without the Boss
Experiments with workers' control occurred in many countries during the late post-war boom period in circumstances of heightened industrial militancy and a crisis in employer and state authority. They are again popular under different conditions, especially in Argentina and Venezuela. Such episodes demonstrate that labour can exist without capital, whereas capital is always dependent on labour. This essential autonomy of labour from capital is a …
Trade Union Yobbos Inspire Book on Misogyny
Discusses the history of the Ernie awards. The first Ernies function was started by women unionists to protest sexism in the trade union movement.

His success as an 'organic' working-class intellectual stemmed from his ability to present working-class ideas as representative of universal interests, and trade union work bans as activity on behalf of the whole of society.

Strikes in Australia. A Sociological Analysis of Industrial Conflict
Black sisterhood
The article argues that Aboriginal women in urban aboriginal society experience very different oppressions than do white women in urban white society. Aboriginal women believe that their greatest oppression is racism not sexism. When their objective conditions are examined it becomes obvious that this is indeed so. In fact Aboriginal women are statistically better educated and better employed than are Aboriginal men. Other economic and societal f…
