The General Federation of Jordanian Trade Unions (GFJTU) called for the need to intensify monitoring efforts on Jordan’s labor market and various economic facilities to control wage-related violations, especially gender-based pay discrimination, and failure to comply with the minimum JD260 salary ceiling.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In a press statement on International Equal Pay Day (IEPD), which falls on Saturday, GFJTU’s President, Mazen Ma’aytah, said women workers have the right to receive equal wages with “similar value, effort ” jobs to men.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ma’aytah pointed to the importance of “altering stereotypes behind women\u2019s deprivation of equal pay,” underlining the need to raise awareness on factors curbing women’s economic engagement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This joint national effort also aims to address the causes that increase gender gap and find “appropriate” solutions, he noted.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
