Gender discrimination

[BBROWN1664]

There was a case recently where female shop till workers were claiming their job was equivalent to male (manual) workers in the distribution warehouse. What the report didn't say was that the male shop till workers actually earned the same as the female shop till workers and the female distribution workers earned the same as their male colleagues.

This was a case of job equivalency which is down to the company to decide but the BBC (and others) made it sound like it was a female/male thing.
