The Pay Transparency Directive can do this by including provisions that assist
workers and their unions to re-evaluate the pay and to secure increases that reflect
the real value of the work to the organisations and society. Crucially it must em-
power unions to bargain to build a new normal where work that is done by women
is properly valued and paid.
This crisis wil mark a new beginning. We need to remember those who are working
on the frontlines, in services, care, cleaning, we can’t repeat what happened after
the 2008 crisis when companies bounced back but working people and gender
equality paid the price.
I look forward to your positive response and we remain available to assist you in
your endeavours to secure an EU where Gender Equality is a reality for all women.
Yours sincerely,
