October (& September) News Roundup
We've been busier than usual bees this past while, so we missed September's news roundup. Not to worry though - we've packed the very best (and worst) stories on women and work into this month's bumper edition. Recent headlines cheer on the (very small) decrease in Scotland's gender pay gap (helpfully using the full-time pay gap, which excludes over 40% of working women), alongside less welcome news that sexism and sexual harassment is considered "the norm" in schools, and TUC research which shows women earn £8500 a year less than men by the time they reach their 50s. Ugh.
Now October's over we're putting the finishing touches to our CtG Bunker, just in case the U.S. election goes belly-up. Who knows what November's newsround will look like. We hope it's pantsuits all round.
