New committee to improve workplace equality in the public sector
Bern, 29.10.2024 - The Charter for equal pay in the public sector brings together the Confederation, cantons, communes and state-associated organisations that have undertaken to actively promote equal pay for women and men. The Federal Council intends to strengthen this Charter, in particular by setting up a committee to coordinate various measures and ensure the exchange of information among signatories. At its first meeting yesterday in Bern, the committee chose three action areas to be prioritised in the coming years.
