Introducing Equal Pay for Equal Work in Alberta

Edmonton, Alberta
1959

Alberta amends the Labour Code to prohibit an employer from discriminating with respect to wages on account of gender. Women can't be paid less for doing the same or similar job just because they are women. This won't stop the practice, but it will be a solid step towards closing the wage gap between men and women.
