On the occasion of the International Working Women’s Day, the Secretariat of the WFTU salutes the working women and expresses its solidarity to their everyday struggles for the improvement of their living and working conditions.

 

The class-oriented trade union movement internationally, the affiliates and friends of the WFTU have been engaged in national efforts to strengthen the working women’s movement. More women’s committees have been established within the structures of the trade unions in the spirit of the resolutions of the 16th World Trade Union Congress.

 

According to the Action Plan approved at the 2014 Presidential Council Session in Rome, Italy on February 14-15th, the WFTU has set forth for the 1st World Congress for Working Women to take place by the end of 2014.

 

We should join these efforts in a World Congress, discuss the difficulties faced, debate on the developments in the workers movement, form a joint platform of demands and coordinate our struggle for the strengthening of the working women’s movement internationally, to lay the ground for further breakthroughs in their rights and conquests.

 

For the class-oriented trade union movement, for the WFTU, the struggle against the dual exploitation of the working women and the anti-labor reforms that add further burden to them and for the satisfaction of the contemporary needs of the working women have always been a priority.

Rubbish. I have a full birth certificate from 23 years ago that has the mother's occupation slot.


Care to apologise after reading the following posts?

 

I was referring to the form that is filled in to register the birth.  After each birth she added Mother's Occupation underneath her husband's occupation, with a red pen.  I saw one of these forms on which she had done this.  So is it not rubbish.


Did you read my posts? Perhaps the State you live in didn't have that option, but the State I'm quoting DID for the past 55 years. The form is where the information for a full birth certificate comes from.

Too late for what? I discounted your statement because it is incorrect. You seem to have a hard time understanding or maybe accepting that fact.

My statement is NOT incorrect.  Are you calling me a liar?  Were you there when these children were born?

In the original lodgement  papers someone could have added 'Mothers Occupation'  somewhere on the form if there wasn't a line for that ....and it would then have appeared in the actual birth certificate ?

In the original lodgement papers there was not Mother's Occupation, so my daughter wrote it in after each birth.  That was my comment, that this was appalling only fifteen years ago.

Your original statement was that mother's occupation was only included 15 years ago. As I said, a State thing, because I have proof that in this State mother's occupation was included.

 

I don't understand why you're not getting it.

Nup.  I said that the mother's occupation was NOT included fifteen years ago.   This is the statement you labelled as RUBBISH.
