Recently, documents were made public which showed male BBC TV and radio personalities make more than their female counterparts. The publicly funded broadcast service was forced to publish salary ranges of top paid presenters and actors. While the BBC stated that it has made significant changes in recent years to correct the gender pay gap, employees with the company such as female journalists and TV presenters, are demanding more action is needed now to fix the pay gap, rather than slowly eliminating the pay discrimination over the course of several years. The employer proposed a 2020 target for equal pay, but is this quick enough to address issues of gender and diversity? Employment discrimination can happen and does affect workers of both large and small companies.
