Samira Ahmed: TV host who claimed BBC underpaid her , Wins £700K
 
They said the show Jeremy Vine used to
do "Points Of View" a BBC1HD
got much higher pay.

Her show hidden away on BBCnewsHD 7:45PM Fridays
"Newswatch" is only 14mins long
once a week.

BBC1 gets more viewers.

[An employment judge and
two panel members ruled unanimously
that the BBC had failed to prove
the difference in their pay
"because of a material factor which did
not involve subjecting the claimant
to sex discrimination".
Ahmed was paid £465 per episode
for hosting Newswatch,
while Vine received £3,000 for Points Of View.]

Beso 10-01-2020 08:31 PM

Her with the lugs on bbc am is perched like the back passenger on a weaving moped in central london.

Crimson Dynamo 10-01-2020 08:32 PM

I thought you were all for having absolute respect for the rulings of courts?

Boris Johnson’s next election slogan?

Mystic Mock 10-01-2020 10:26 PM

Tbf if she only does 14 minutes of her show, and it pulls in less viewers then she should be getting paid less than Jeremy Vine imo.

I agree with bridging the gap, but the same isn't very fair to Jeremy Vine's commitment to his show.

Other factors come into it and it's not just about gender gap , but the BBC are so dirty and corrupt :bored: .

Oh yeah, courts are never wrong :joker:

Good on her for playing the system, but to think she's remotely in the same bracket as Jeremy Vine is crazy. The difference in pay clearly had nothing to do with her gender.

Livia 11-01-2020 10:31 AM

I don't think she was underpaid. I think Jeremy Vine is overpaid. Awful, milky, whiny, car-hating, cycle riding irritant from the metropolitan liberal elite that he is.

Yes, good for her. The piss-take of unequal pay is ridiculous in 2020. And they were always going to find for her for much the same reason that everyone on TV adverts now is in a mixed race couple.

It's not really unequal pay, because it's not equal work :shrug:

Do you have any proof of courts bias?

bots 11-01-2020 11:30 AM

The BBC have been on dodgy ground with respect to equality for years and this was basically a final warning for them to get their house in order. I am not an expert on the metrics for deciding these things, i leave that up to the law
