Results: #MeTooPay - Top businesswomen start a campaign to close the gender pay gap!

A group of 100 of the UK's most successful businesswomen have launched a campaign to close the gender pay gap. Some of corporate Britain's biggest names are behind the #MeTooPay initiative including Dame Minouche Shafik, potentially the Bank of England's next governor, and GSK boss Emma Walmsley. It was sparked following a gender bias case involving BNP Paribas bank. The campaign is spearheaded by former Royal Mail chief Dame Moya Greene. The group was shocked by the experiences of BNP Paribas bank employee Stacey Macken, who worked in the firm's prime brokerage division. An employment tribunal revealed her basic salary was 25% less than that of her male colleague, and her first-year bonus payment was less than half of his. Three years after joining, the difference between Ms Macken's bonus and that of her male peer had widened to 85%. Ms Macken won her claim for sexual discrimination against the investment bank.
