Findlay outlines plans to close gender pay gap

SCOTTISH Labour leadership contender Neil Findlay yesterday laid out a radical new agenda for equality ahead of hustings at Scottish Labour Women’s conference this weekend.

The Lothian MSP proposes a new Scottish law to address the pay gap between men and women.

“The STUC’s Close the Gap campaign reveals that women in Scotland working full-time earn 14 per cent less than men — and women working part-time earn 33 per cent less per hour than men’s full-time hourly rate,” Mr Findlay told the Morning Star.
