23 Men win £500,000 in Equal Pay Claim

Twenty-three male workers at a Welsh University who were paid less than their female counterparts have won around £500,000 in compensation after suing for sex discrimination. Eighteen caretakers and tradesmen took the University of Wales, Trinity St David (UWTSD) to an employment tribunal claiming they were paid less than women on the same pay grade, including secretaries and office workers. The university's lawyers told a Cardiff tribunal that they would no longer be contesting the claim and agreed to pay out to the claimants and five more men on the same pay grade. UWTSD had initially argued that the pay difference was not due to gender but because of changes to the men's contracts. Paul Doran, the men's solicitor, is expected his clients to share a £500,000 payout. Concrew Training provides equal pay audits to help prevent issues like this arising
