In 1940, the National Union of Agricultural Workers agreed a policy of ' equal pay for men and women for equal work'. However, Women's Land Army leaders argued for women's wages to be cut in order to encourage farmers to take on more workers. In this article in The Land Worker, January 1941, the Union argues that low wages will not attract women to agriculture and will cause conflict between men and women, who will be seen as under-cutting farmworkers' wages.
