Women get 85p for each £1 a man gets

Today is the last day of the year that women in full-time work get paid, according to equality campaigners at the TUC.

Women earn 15% less than men - or £5,000 a year on average - for doing the same job. That means women will effectively work the rest of the year for free, while their male colleagues still get paid. In some professions it is worse. %VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
