Women at Work: Ensuring Equity in the Employment Relationship: The Case for a Minimum Code

Abstract

Next year, 1994, marks the century of the passing in 1894 of the first Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration (IC&A) Act in New Zealand, an act which was to shape the structure and development of New Zealand's industrial relations for almost a century. I have chosen to anticipate that anniversary today. My address is concerned with a broad industrial law topic which has, I believe, particular relevance for this year's anniversary, the suffrage of women.
