Pathways into Equal Pay Course

A 'Pathways into Equal Pay' (5ooKb PDF file) course can offer a first step into activity for members. It is a positive option which branches can present when engaging with members on the issue of equal pay and has provided real benefits to branches by delivering a new layer of active members.
