lpv:spoken text	"The fact that only a tiny proportion of the members of boards and senior management of major companies are women is a symptom of the oppression and discrimination that women face under capitalism. The Commission and the EU establishment will attempt to use this proposal to portray themselves as being in favour of equality and women’s rights. The reality is quite the opposite. The austerity policies that are being pushed by the Commission are responsible for increasing inequality between men and women. The proposals only deal with women in senior management of major companies and will have absolutely no impact on the lives of the vast majority of working class and middle class women. In order to really increase equality we need to reverse austerity policies and invest in affordable childcare, decent maternity pay, parental leave, pensions and welfare. Businesses must also be forced to implement family friendly working conditions. If the Commission was serious about gender equality these are the measures they would take and not a tokenistic proposal for quotas at the tops of major companies which only serves to paper over the growing inequality between men and women."@en1
