Submitted by dfabbri on

El País (01.03.2019) El gran guiño a la igualdad de Pedro Sánchez llegó en el último Consejo de Ministros antes de la disolución de las Cortes y a una semana del 8 de Marzo, en el que el movimiento feminista vuelve a llamar a la huelga. El Gobierno ha aprobado por decreto ley la equiparación de los permisos de paternidad y maternidad, una medida que sitúa a España a la cabeza de Europa. Los padres dispondrán de 16 semanas pagados al 100% a partir de 2021. El decreto obliga además a las empresas a incluir un registro de salarios para evitar la discriminación por sexo.
