Brian When I started work in the '60s for the BBC, everyone doing the same job which had a BBC grade was paid the same male or female. Although in those days it wasn't that common to have males and females doing the same job. The problem is more with those like talent where each contract is individual. -- *Money isn't everything, but it sure keeps the kids in touch * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
