about pay justice. Gender pay justice was a key component of the 2022\/23 EIS Pay Attention campaign. This campaign marked the first time teachers took national strike action in Scotland since the 1980s.<\/p><p>A 2-year strike campaign from 1984 to 1986 by Scottish teachers against Thatcher\u2019s policies, resulted in a pay review and major pay award near identical to the one won this year.<\/p><p>This campaign won a common pay scale for primary and secondary teachers, which would reduce the gender pay gap as the proportion of women in primary teaching is greater than in secondary.<\/p><p><strong>About this topic<\/strong><\/p><p>Gender equality is an important component to EIS\u2019s equality work. Over 80% of the members we represent as a Union, are women.<\/p><p>This topic will talk about gender equality at work, through looking specifically at the gender pay gap.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a05265d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a05265d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Overview<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7cb1630 elementor-grid-1 elementor-posts--thumbnail-none elementor-grid-tablet-2 elementor-grid-mobile-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-posts\" data-id=\"7cb1630\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;classic_columns&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;classic_row_gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:15,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;classic_columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;classic_columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;classic_row_gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;classic_row_gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"posts.classic\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-posts-container elementor-posts elementor-posts--skin-classic elementor-grid\" role=\"list\">\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-378 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-week-1\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/equality.eis.org.uk\/voicesinunion-keyissues\/2023\/05\/25\/introduction-gender-and-trade-unions\/\" >\n\t\t\t\t1.

Despite this legislation, the pay gap remains. In 2022, Close the Gap reported that the gender pay gap in Scotland decreased only from 10.4% to 10.1% between 2020 and 2021.\u00a0<\/p><p>Within the EIS, women led the charge for equal rights to training, and for the removal of differential pay for primary and secondary teachers. The majority of those marching in the streets of Glasgow for fair pay for teachers in 2018\u2019s Value Education Value Teachers campaign demo, were women.<\/p><p>So, we still see that gender dynamics and structures have material effects on women\u2019s lives and livelihoods. As trade unionists, Fair Work for women is an essential consideration \u2013 how can work offer effective voice, opportunity, security, fulfilment and respect for women, and address the barriers that exist, today?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf8ef69 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"cf8ef69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1efd025 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1efd025\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-load-more-anchor\" data-page=\"1\" data-max-page=\"3\" data-next-page=\"https:\/\/equality.eis.org.uk\/voicesinunion-keyissues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/385\/page\/2\/\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<nav class=\"elementor-pagination\" aria-label=\"Pagination\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"page-numbers prev\">&laquo; Previous<\/span>\n<a class=\"page-numbers next\" href=\"https:\/\/equality.eis.org.uk\/voicesinunion-keyissues\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/385\/page\/2\/\">Next Topic&raquo;<\/a>\t\t<\/nav>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Topic 1: Gender pay justice and gender inequality at work One way to consider the relevance of gender equality campaigning today, is to think about<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-385","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
