Fed: Burrow accuses Abbott of having no idea about women
ACTU president SHARAN BURROW says Workplace Relations Minister TONY ABBOTT has no ideaabout how women lead their lives.
She says Mr ABBOTT needs to enter the 21st century and understand that women make aneconomic and social contribution that must be valued.
And she's told the Seven Network that paid maternity leave is just the foundation of that.
Ms BURROW says Mr ABBOTT and Finance Minister NICK MINCHIN discriminate against womenand have encouraged Prime Minister JOHN HOWARD not to introduce paid maternity leave.
She says the ACTU wants to see a revolution in workplaces where business and familieswin through flexibility.
