Meri Disoski demands that women's quota alone is not enough for real equality!
Meri Disoski demands that women's quota alone is not enough for real equality!
Österreich - On April 16, 2025, Meri Disoski, spokeswoman for the Greens, recognized the increase in the quota of women in supervisory boards as a step in the right direction. The new regulation stipulates that in the future half of the members sent by the federal government should be women on these supervisory boards. Despite this progress, Disoski emphasizes that further measures are necessary to close the still existing gender -specific wage gap. "Real equality requires more transparency, commitment and justice," she emphasizes in her statement, in which it also demands the need for mandatory wage transparency to combat the financial disadvantage of women.
In Austria, women receive less monthly on average than they are entitled to. In order to proceed against this injustice, Disoski suggests introducing wage transparency for companies with at least 35 employees. According to its view, this measure could have positive effects for many women in Austria. Disoski has brought in a corresponding concern as an important instant to women. This is also to fully implement the requirements of the EU Directive "Women on Boards", which demands a binding quota for women on supervisory boards and board members.
new EU regulations on wage transparency
A central component of this guideline is that employees have the right to request information about the average heights of the wage, broken down by gender, for equivalent work. Employers must also provide information about the entry fee or the remuneration span in job advertisements (for companies with more than 100 employees). Questions about the wage development of applicants will be inadmissible in the future. These regulations should help reduce wage discrimination and to grant the victims of wage discrimination rights to compensation and additional payments.
The relevance for Germany and the EU
The acceptance of the wage transparency guideline is considered a strong signal for women in Europe. Federal Minister of Women Lisa Paus emphasizes that these regulations are quickly implemented into national law. In Germany, the gender -specific wage gap is an average of 18 percent. Employers with more than 250 employees must already report on the wage gradient annually, while smaller companies (initially with more than 150 employees) have to report every three years.
The guideline published in the EU's official gazette requires strong transparency instruments by the member states by June 2026 at the latest. In Germany, the Remuneration Transparency Act has existed since 2017, which promotes the principle of "equal wages for the same or equivalent work". In several judgments, the Federal Labor Court emphasized the need for objective and non -discriminatory reasons for paying differences and thus further consolidated the legal framework for enforcing equality.
