“…They often associate the gender pay gap and work‐life balance problems as “women’s issues”, which fit poorly with the masculine culture that characterizes male‐dominated unions and workplaces (Gregory and Milner 2009; Kirton and Greene 2005). In addition, some authors qualify women’s greater interest in these women’s issues, such as Brochard and Letablier (2017) and Guillaume (2017) in France, who stress that equal pay and work‐life balance receive little attention irrespective of the gender composition at the firm level. This suggests that, even in female‐dominated jobs, power and authority remain “a prerogative of men”, regardless of individual and job characteristics (Fana et al.…”

Gender equality at work has become in recent years a priority for governments. In France, collective bargaining is the main lever to achieve progress on gender equality issues. In a two‐tier bargaining framework, industries and firms are required by law to negotiate on the reduction of gender inequalities. Using firm‐level survey data on labor relations issues combined with administrative data, this paper seeks to better understand the dynamics of collective bargaining on gender equality at the firm level by questioning the role played by the gender mix. We find that gender diversity favors gender equality bargaining at the firm level. Underrepresentation and overrepresentation of women reduce the probability of firms negotiating an agreement on gender equality. The introduction of sanctions in the recent period has prompted low‐feminized firms to negotiate more on gender equality but had little impact on highly feminized firms.

This article adds new insights into how equal pay and work–life balance issues are negotiated in male- and female-dominated companies, based on a survey of 3275 shop stewards, conducted in 2010. Inspired by Gregory and Milner’s concept of opportunity structures, we argue that the gender composition of the workforce affects the equal pay and work–life balance discussions and actions in Danish companies, but in a slightly different way from expected. It is often the male shop steward who exploits the opportunity structure created by more women among the staff to develop equal pay and work–life balance actions.
