Has Discrimination Been Eliminated In Collective Agreements — The Central Arbitration Committee and Equal Pay?
Between 1951 and 1971 the working population of Great Britain increased by 2.5 million — from 22.6 million to 25.1 million. The major part of this increase was due to the number of women in the workforce rising from 7.2 to 9 million. This has been a contributory cause of increased pressure for improved working conditions and pay for women that resulted in the 1970 Equal Pay Act and the 1975 Sex Discrimination Act — both of which came into force on the 29 December, 1975.
