The earnings gap between disabled and non-disabled workersremains significant at £2.24 an hour, according to new analysis published bythe Trades Union Congress (TUC) yesterday (12 November).
The findings show that disabled employees working a 35-hourweek earn, on average, more than £4,000 less each year than their non-disabledcounterparts. This equates to a disability pay gap of 15.5%.
This is completely wrong and needs addressing
