daycare policy, according to.
Lynne Gordon, Chairperson
of the Ontario statusi of
Women Council,
"Equal pay laws in
Ontario have been in effect
since 1974 and they do not
work, The gap between
men's and women's wages
continues to widen. Women
are not getting paid equally
with men. Women are
struggling for safe, affor-
dable daycare for their
children. Only a com-
prehensive employment
strategy will give women
their fair share", said
Gordon.
Gordon spoke at the first
Provincial Consultation on
Women's Issues hosted by
the Ontario Status of Women
Council, where she unveiled

Equal pay
Gordon noted the gap
between the average earning
of men and women is in
excess of 40 percent with
women earning 60 percent of
men's wages. "The highest
priority should be given to
measures which would
reduce differentials in rates
of pay," she said, "Foremost
among such policy measures
- and it is difficult to think of
an effective alternative -
would be legislation
requiring equal pay for work
of equal value."
"Equal value legislation
does work," Gordon
remarked, "It's working in
Quebec and it can work in
Ontario too." She stated that
wage settlements and back
pay for equal value cases in
Quebec have amounted to
over one million dollars,
Equal pay for work of
equal value legislation
would require employers to
pay men and women the
same wages if the work they
were doing was deemed to be
of equal value as determined
by skill, effort, responsibility
and working conditions.
Gordon cited an example
of how the legislation would
work. "We have a man
working as a custodian and a
°plan working as a medicat
receptionist both emploYed
. by the same hospital. The
woman works directly with
the doctors and nurses On
staff and has the required
educational background, for
her dealings with, the
medical prOfesaion.
She also has the required
skills for the performance of
her job. Although it is
small clinic, it is a very busy
one and the medical
receptionist has a great deal
of responsibility due to the
nature of her work. She
earns $162.00 a week.
Her co-workers the
custodian, is responsible for
the general cleanliness of the
clinic. His position requires
no specific educational
background and minimal
skills. He earns $223.00 a
week. The basis of the wage
differential is sex."
Gordon feels the way to
eliminate this practice is for
the government to im-
plement equal pay for work
of equal value legislation.
Such legislation has been the
subject of widespread public
discussion in Ontario and has
been under review by the
Ontario government since
1974,
"Equal pay for work of
equal value is not an ab-
stract principle," said
Gordon, "it means action
that will alleviate the gross
pay differentials between
women and men that have
existed for years."
Chi Idcare
As well, Gordon noted,
childcare is an essential part
of any employment. strategy
for women. The brief
recommends that Ontario
develop a comprehensive
childcare policy designed to
increase the availability of
accessible, affordable
childcare.
'Childbearing and
childrearing responsibili-
ties,',' stated Gordon, "are
one of the major factors
inhibiting participation and
advancement of females in
the labour force, Available
and affordable childcare
facilities are essential if
parents are to participate
equitably and fully in the
labour force,"
Gordon added that better
facitities for childcare would
be necessary in order to
ensure full equality for
women, not just in the work
place,, but as members, pf
Society.

BEST WISHES Gordon urged Ontario
employers to provide
training for their own work
force. Less than one percent to these of apprentices are women,
noted Gordon.
"Preferences," she said,
"clearly are being given to
men over women. Not all
women are interested in
careers in skilled trades
such as' metal working, but
those who are should at least
begiven the opportunity to
compete for such slots on
equal footing with men."
Gordon stressed the need
to move forward on all
recommendations in the
brief. "If any employment
strategy is to be attempted,"
she said,' "it must address all
areas affecting the em-
ployment of women.
