Enforce the equal pay act now! Sign now for action to be taken on this issue.
The Equal pay act 1970 has been around for 36 years there is still no equality within gender pay.
Why are men paid more? Are they more qualified? Are they better at their job? No! This is illegal discrimination against women.
We want the law enforced so that when companies breech this act they receive a sanction, in the same way if a company was racist to a member of staff there would be a consequence for that action.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The enforcement of laws is the responsibility of the courts, which are independent of both Government and Parliament.
You could start a new petition asking Parliament to change the law, to provide for additional penalties for employers who breach the law.
