TUC campaigns for women's equality in the workplace and in the wider community.
Rights 'threat' to women a
myth The TUC reacted forcefully to comments made last month by Nicola Brewer, chief executive of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, on new rights to transferable maternity leave and extending the right to request flexible working to the parents of older children. 'The idea that extending family-friendly rights would somehow hurt women's job prospects is a myth commonly peddled by employers who don't want to employ women of child-bearing age or give male staff time off to spend with their children', said Brendan Barber. http://www.tuc.org.uk/work_life/tuc-15082-f0.cfm
Women workers win in pay
ruling
July 29th 2008 Pay schemes that perpetuate sexual discrimination have been deemed illegal in a landmark Court of Appeal ruling. The Court found in favour of two separate groups of female public sector workers, who claimed they were unfairly treated by their employers. The claimants were school cleaners and crossing patrol staff working for councils in the North East of England. BBC employment correspondent Martin Shankleman said the ruling could trigger thousands of extra claims.
The cases were brought against Middlesbrough, and Redcar and Cleveland
councils.
