It depends on if you're an employer or employee, and whether you're aware of the unions and the support they have available. I think in the gig economy, people aren't as aware of unions and what their resources are.

I don't think women should take all the responsibility for unpaid domestic labour. If they have a partner, it should be shared labour. Women should be paid equally in the workplace to their male counterparts - we need to get rid of the gender pay gap if women are doing the equivalent work to men.

As much as it is unfair, women have traditionally completed these tasks and know how to do them. It should be a team between husband and wife however. Women work just as hard as men, I dont see why not.

I think women and men should be equal. Doing a part housework is just a sense of responsibility to the family. Women can also show their abilities in work. In the work, the workers who work more, who work harder should be paid more. So people should be treated equally

Yes - they are important to represent workers who may not know their rights and if they are being taken advantage of.
