We welcome the report on the application of the principle of equal pay for male and female workers for equal work or work of equal value
). However, we do not share the view expressed in the report that ‘a decentralised and individualised system of wage setting should therefore be assessed as a rather worrying development’. On the contrary, individual pay reviews and negotiations should be the norm and will allow us to tackle pay discrimination, provided that they form part of an open and transparent process.
