Royal Commission on Equal Pay - LRD pamphlet, 1946

In 1946, the Royal Commission on Equal Pay concluded tentatively that women in teaching and certain grades of the civil service might benefit from equal pay. Three women [including Anne Loughlin] on the Commission thought equal pay should be extended to women in industry and produced a minority report. This pamphlet published by the Labour Research Department supported the TUC view that the Government should implement the Commission's recommendations in Government industrial establishments and in the non-industrial civil service in the hope that it would set a precedent to influence negotiations in private industry and commerce. It also called for improved trade union organisation of women.
