TUC calls for mandatory ethnicity pay gap reporting as figures suggest Bame workers fare worse than white workers in jobs market
Black and minority ethnic workers are a third more likely to be “trapped” in temporary and insecure work, new research suggests. A study by the TUC indicated that Bame workers are faring worse than white workers in the jobs market. There are 3.9 million Bame working people in the UK and they are more than twice as likely to be on agency contracts as white workers, said the trade union movement. They are also more likely to be on zero-hours contracts and in temporary work, according to the research. Frances O’Grady, the TUC general secretary, said: “Far too many Bame workers are stuck in low-paid, insecure and temporary work.
I assume the same happens in every white majority country.
