Success over equality
The NUJ has successfully secured a £26,000 payout and a £7,000 a year pay rise for a member on a national newspaper who was paid less than her male counterparts for doing the same job. The company agreed to settle the claim before it went to a tribunal. The win is just one of a number of recent victories on equal pay for work of equal value.
