Close the Gap and UNISON Scotland are holding an event to mark the 40th of the Ford equal pay strikes. The event, ‘Winning Equal Pay: from Red Clydeside to Ford Dagenham’, will be held at 6pm on Thursday 27 November 2008 at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow.
The evening will be an opportunity for trade union activists and low-paid working women to celebrate past equal pay victories and also to reflect and look to the future to discuss how equal pay can be realised for all women today.
The evening will consist of short films on the Ford strikes and the 1943 Clydeside strikes, followed by discussion and an opportunity to hear from two of the original Ford strikers, in addition to trade unionists who are currently involved in equal pay struggles. Light refreshments will also be provided.
A flyer for the event is available for download in PDF format
