Asda Store Women Demand Equal Pay With Male Warehouse Workers as Adsa Faces Mass Legal Action

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29... The UK's second largest retailer is facing a mass legal action by women who work in their stores. The women claim they are not paid the same as male workers in the distribution warehouses - despite their jobs being of "equivalent value". The case will test how retailers decide what they pay their staff in different parts of their business. And if the women are successful it could have serious ramifications for the whole sector. The legal action, believed to be the largest of its kind in the private sector, could lead to some very high payouts. More than 10,000 Asda staff have expressed an interest in joining the case, and more than 1,000 employment tribunal claims have already been lodged. Asda has signalled it will fight the claims vigorously and says it does not discriminate. Lauren Loughheed, who is leading the case, said that the pay difference between female shop and male warehouse workers could be as much as £4 an hour. That's a big difference when you are earning £7 an hour. And, if the cases are successful, women workers could be compensated for six years of back pay.
