Scottish Labour calls for new law to tackle pay gaps

SCOTTISH LABOUR has called for a new law to tackle drastic post-university pay gaps facing women, disabled people and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. 

Figures published last week showed significant levels of financial disparity five years after graduation. 

Analysis by the party shows that after this time has passed, women earn on average £2,500 less than men per year, while disabled people earn on average £2,600 less than those without disabilities.
