Bectu is committed to fighting for gender equality both in the workplace and within society generally.
We campaign to ensure that women are equally able to progress their careers by:
- pressing for an end to stereotyped attitudes in the workplace
- the introduction of impartial job appraisal schemes, and
- fair and open promotion opportunities.
Prospect has produced advice and guidance for members and reps on promoting equality for women in the workplace.
Equal pay: Women and men employed on work rated as equivalent, like work or work of equal value, are entitled to equal pay unless the employer has a material reason for the difference in pay. Pay secrecy clauses are unlawful, so any term in a contract that forbids employees from discussing their pay for the purpose of finding out if there is discrimination will be unenforceable.
