"The decisions made ​​by the Popular Party government only get worse this situation every day: a woman must work 79 days more than a man to earn the same"

"To achieve the equivalent compensation to a man working for 35 years - has added Martínez Canovas-a woman should work 11 and a half years, ie 46. This needs to be addressed urgently"
