Richard Leonard slams ‘shameful’ ethnic minority pay gap
ETHNIC minority workers earn an average of 10.2 per cent less in Scotland than white people do, new figures revealed today.
The Office for National Statistics found that the pay gap is substantially more than the Britain-wide average of 3.8 per cent last year.
Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard condemned the “shameful” pay disparity and called on the Scottish government to review how it can use procurement policies to close the gap.
