Commenting on Equal Pay Day today (Thursday), TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:
“Today’s the day when women effectively stop getting paid for the rest of the year compared to men. Working women deserve so much better.
“The next government must deliver real change for women. We want tougher employer action to close the gender pay gap, flexible work from the first day in the job, better maternity and paternity pay, a new law to prevent sexual harassment and new laws to end pregnancy and maternity discrimination.”
