Winning Equal Pay: the value of women’s work
This archive is part of The Union Makes Us Strong website and is a partnership initiative between London Metropolitan University and the Trades Union Congress to record the long campaign to achieve equal pay for women. It was supported by the European Social Fund EQUAL Programme.
The site includes filmed interviews with women who fought for and won equal pay, hundreds of digitised images and documents from the TUC Library Collections, plus contributions from historians and other experts.
