PRIVILÉGIO BRANCO...

 

White man sues Home Office for race and sex pay discrimination

Matthew Parr (left) is suing the Home Office for sex and race discrimination after discovering he was earning less than his counterpart for doing the same job. He claims that being a white man meant he was paid a £133,983 salary, plus £7,904 living allowance, while Wendy Williams (right) took home £185,000. Both are one of five HM Inspectors of Constabulary (HMIs) who act as watchdogs for the UK's police forces. Mr Parr, a former rear admiral, was appointed in 2016 during Theresa May's tenure as Home Secretary when Whitehall was driving down the salaries of top officials. An employment tribunal heard that at the time of Ms Williams' appointment 15 months earlier, the Treasury was also trying to reduce pay packets.
