Equal Pay Day 2024 - 2 days earlier than 2023 - hurtling in the wrong direction!

On Nov 20th, Equal Pay Day highlighted the need for urgent action on workplace inequality. Women, especially racially minoritised and Disabled women, face low pay, discrimination, and barriers to senior roles. Stronger policies are needed to drive real change. #EndPayGaps

Today was (un) #EqualPayDay24 Yet again, key issues facing women have gone unremarked upon by our elected representatives. @sianberry.bsky.social @chriswardmp.bsky.social #PeterKyleMP @lesliepumm.bsky.social #BellaSankey #Brighton #Sussec #SistersSalon #RespectWomen

Currently reading Ghosts Of The British Museum by @noahangell.bsky.social - and wishing I’d joined the tours! #MondayReads #BookSky #AmReading #ReadingList #ChooseBookshops
