@JuliaHB1 @DanHannanMEP @StrongerIn for now. It could be abolished in single act of Parliament. Hence much more precarious.
@PaulDBrant As per usual @JuliaHB1 & @DanHannanMEP get facts wrong. "Equal pay for equal value" is EU. http://www.unionhistory.info/equalpay/roaddisplay.php?irn=785 …
@JuliaHB1 @DanHannanMEP @StrongerIn unlikely equal pay would be directly abolished I agree, but paternity pay? Maternity rights?='Red tape'?
@PaulDBrant @JuliaHB1 @DanHannanMEP @StrongerIn Maternity leave EU 14 weeks, UK 52 weeks. You don't need EU 'protection'.
@flexdream equal pay for like work or work of equal value (one strand of equal pay protection), is from article 141 .
@JuliaHB1 @DanHannanMEP @StrongerIn there is no concept of 'enshrinement' in uk law. Any Labour gov Act (eg Equal Pay Act), can be repealed.
@JuliaHB1 @PaulDBrant @DanHannanMEP @StrongerIn well then we shouldn't have a pay gap.
