UK equality watchdog says workers should have legal right to see colleagues' pay
The Equality and Human Rights Commission says UK employees should be legally able to find out what co-workers earn, to help prevent pay discrimination.
The UK's equality watchdog says workers should have a legal right to know what their colleagues are paid. The BBC and The Guardian both report the position.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) says the right would help prevent pay discrimination, particularly against women, according to The Guardian. It says workers who suspect colleagues are paid more for similar work deserve transparency.
The Guardian reports the EHRC put the recommendation forward as its response to government proposals to overhaul equal pay laws.
