Narrative 11-2 Women Working in Certain Occupational Groups at Canada Post Were

question 102

Multiple Choice

Narrative 11-2
Women working in certain occupational groups at Canada Post were systematically underpaid for nearly 20 years,according to a Supreme Court of Canada ruling in 2011. Women tended to work in clerical roles,whereas men tended to work in postal operations roles (letter carriers,mail handlers,and mail sorters) . The Public Service Alliance of Canada argued that the principle of equal pay for equal work wasn't being followed. Canada Post has implemented a Human Resources and Compensation Committee to ensure it complies fully with its myriad accountabilities. Unfortunately,it's not clear that Canada Post has addressed all the inequities within its organization,as another pay equity review,this time involving rural and urban carriers,has launched.
-Refer to Narrative 11-2. If Canada Post sought to hire women into postal operations roles in proportion to their representation in the applicant pool,what is the relevant concept at play?
