Rally: Concession Day for equal pay

Friday, July 22, 2011 - 09:00

Australian women earn on average 18% less than men. The average superannuation payout for a woman is projected to be half that of a man's by the age of retirement. If the pay gap doesn't change, we will see a void emerge over the next 40 years that will leave today's 25-year-old women nearly $1 million worse off than their male counterparts.

July 22nd is 'Concession Day for equal pay', we are calling for all women to pay the concession rate for their public transport ticket. (If you're already on a concession, don't pay anything at all!)

Meet 9am at Tram Stop 1, cnr Bourke & Spencer Sts for a protest concession fare ride through Melbourne.
