Trade Union Secretary Sally McManus says Australia's workplace laws are incapable of providing gender pay equity.


It comes after the Fair Work Commission rejected a pay rise for early childhood educators.

The ruling has ramifications for women in industries such as aged care, where the majority of the workforce are female-identifying.

Early childhood educators have walked off the job several times as part of their Big Steps campaign for equal pay, with another walkout planned for March 27.
