“Are employers finally waking up to the absurdities of British equality laws? A recent tribunal ruled that Next, the high street retailer, had underpaid its predominantly female retail staff compared with its mostly male warehouse workers. The ruling encapsulated the insanity of expansive ‘equal pay for equal work’ laws, punishing Next for setting different pay for completely different roles despite no evidence of direct gender discrimination in doing so.” (09/20/24)
