Media Advisory: Equal Pay Day Events
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/18/16 -- April 19,2016 is the third year Ontario has recognized Equal Pay Day and yet Ontario''s gender pay gap shockingly remains at roughly 30%. Women face discrimination and inequality wherever they work as detailed in a Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives research report released today, "Every Step You Take: Ontario''s Gender Pay Gap Ladder" by Mary Cornish. The Coalition is calling on the provincial government to make it an urgent priority to implement the Premier'' stated September 2015 mandate to close Ontario''s gender pay gap - a gap which is even greater for those who also suffer from other forms of discrimination because of factors such as race, Indigenous, disability, immigrant, migrant or LGBQT status. Several events are scheduled to mark this day, including wearing "red" (recognized colour of Equal Pay Day around the world) to recognize that women are still "in the red" in terms of pay.
