description The current patterns of gender segregation in the labour market are still partly an expression of the exclusionary and segregating practices displayed by unions since the beginning of the industrial revolution. These patterns began to take shape when the payment of smaller salaries to women was accepted. It was only at a later stage that unions started to demand equal pay for women and men as a way of defending male employment.The first part of the text gives an account of some of the insulation practices of trade unions in Portugal. The second part discusses the major lines of change in the orientations of the trade union movement in what concerns gender inequalities in the labour market, and refers to some of the initiatives taken to promote equality between women and men.
