The following details have been supplied by the PCS HQ:
In civil service and government employment the pay gap between men and women is even higher than average.
In the Department for Transport for example, women executive officers in the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) are paid 16% less than male equivalents working for the Driving Standards Agency (DSA).
PCS is challenging this pay inequality but there are many more examples from other areas of the civil service and the public sector.
We are tackling the problem in a number of ways, through:
• Collective bargaining and negotiations
• Taking forward hundreds of legal cases on equal pay issues, and
• Campaigning activity.
