1968: Should Women Get EQUAL PAY? | 24 Hours | Voice of the People | BBC Archive

Fyfe Robertson visits a cigarette factory, to report on the movement to get equal pay for women. What does ’equal pay for equal work’ mean in those instances where jobs are done exclusively by either men or women? Wouldn’t a fairer system be ’equal pay for work of equal value’? Wouldn’t true equality mean equal opportunity for women to do jobs that are currently the preserve of men - and equal access to the training and education necessary to compete for those jobs? How do factory workers, shop stewards and employers feel about equal pay? This clip is from 24 Hours, originally broadcast 5 September, 1968.
