The FSC-CCOO public sector federation has welcomed the setting up of committees throughout the state administration and public agencies to tackle the issue of equality between men and women. The union says that it is important that union representatives have access to the relevant data and analyses in order that they can take a full part in negotiating equality action plans. The FSP-UGT is also pleased about the initiative and believes it has the potential to make a real difference, particularly in relation to the more equal sharing of family responsibilities.
