It's International Women's Day, and trade unions want the Government and employers to see it as an opportunity to commit to pay equality.
CTU spokeswoman Sheryl Cadman says there's still too much of a disparity between what men and women earn.

Sheryl Cadman says the Ministry for Women should be pushing more actively for women's equality in the workplace.
