Salute the victory of October 1918

NUJ deputy general secretary candidate Michelle Stanistreet is calling on the union and the Trades Union Congress to honour the anniversary of the first equal pay deal for women in the UK media - which was probably the first in any industry.
I've seen a TUC training video on equal pay that highlighted a civil service agreement from the 1940s as the first on record.
But in October 1918 the NUJ secured equal pay with men for female national newspaper journalists.
Michelle - who works for the Sunday Express - says on her website: "This year is the 90th anniversary of a remarkable and forgotten achievement by the pioneers of the NUJ.
"I think we should have a celebration in October and launch a campaign to ensure that equal pay has been achieved everywhere before the centenary in ten years time. Despite the fact that the UK has had equal pay legislation for thirty years the average pay of women is still only 82 percent of the average for men.
"The government says firms should do equal pay audits - but they don't have too. The law should be changed to make it compulsory. But we don't have to wait for that - NUJ chapels can start demanding the audits straight away."
Michelle is on the NUJ's national executive council and was the first NUJ member to be elected onto the women's committee of the TUC - the umbrella organisation for unions in the UK.
She said: "I will ask both the NUJ executive and the TUC to back this idea. This forgotten victory should be heralded and used as an inspiration to us all."
