Tesco – Equal Pay

Date: 07 February 2018 In the retail sector, Usdaw has long been at the forefront of calls for fair and transparent pay structures, irrespective of gender or age.
In recent months, Usdaw has been discussing this issue with a number of employers, including Tesco, in preparation for the introduction of mandatory gender pay gap reporting later this year. This is a change in the law which requires larger employers to publish information regarding differences in pay between men and women.
 
Equal pay will continue to be high on our negotiating agenda.
 
Usdaw is actively engaging with all employers where we organise, to establish the facts as to whether there are potential issues with equal pay for work of equal value.
 
The Union will take the appropriate steps, whether through negotiations or legal channels, to address any issues that may be identified as part of this process.
 
Usdaw is not part of the reported legal claim.
