UK business still five decades away from equality in wages

Friday 27th August 2010, 2:30PM BST.

Susie Andrade RESEARCH into the pay of local men and women is to be carried out by the Guernsey branch of the Chartered Management Institute.

Branch chairwoman Susie Andrade (pictured) said the study would be conducted in light of the UK Government’s Equality Act, due to come into force this October, and will be used to compare the findings of recent UK research by the CMI and XpertHR that showed UK businesses were still more than five decades away from paying male and females the same.

Mrs Andrade said results from the local research should be published and presented for consultation towards the spring of 2011.

She said the findings from the recent 2010 National Management Salary Survey in the UK into equal pay needed to be addressed.

Well.. when women can lift heavy boxes without fear of breaking a nail.. or laddering a stocking.. and not spending every ten minutes in front of a mirror fixing their makeup then maybe they should get equal pay.. but until then..!!!
