BOSSES should be obliged to report on pay for disabled people to help tackle the “shocking” disability pay gap of 15 per cent, a senior trade unionist said today.

TUC deputy leader Paul Nowak also took aim at the Tory government’s toothless attempt to close the pay gap in his speech at the TUC’s disabled workers’ conference.

He said: “Instead of punitive welfare reforms, let’s have a clear strategy to help more disabled people into decent, well-paying jobs.”
