Equality Bill 'needed to improve wages of female workers'
03/02/2010
The government's Equality Bill offers an important opportunity to improve the standards of pay among the UK's female workers, according to one expert.
Brendan Barber, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), believes that the wages of female members of staff should match the effort that they put into their work.
He commented: "Legislation like the Equality Bill is crucial if we are to ensure that more is done for the many women who are still on low pay, to reflect their skills."
He also reacted positively to recent suggestions made by the National Equalities Panel concerning pay among women employees in the UK.
The panel has found that the weekly amount earned by females in their 50s and 30s has recently gone up on a full-time basis for those who have middle-range incomes.
Meanwhile, when it comes to the issue of employment in Northern Ireland, the country's employment minister Sir Reg Empey has recently highlighted the support that is being made available to unemployed members of the population.
