Unfair pay between men and women
by Anna
that’s a lot more money and we’ve got the same level qualifications.
My boyfriend’s a plumber and he was on much more money than me when I was an apprentice. He’s still on double what I was on. He was on £150 a week when he first started and now he’s just finished which is the same level as me, and he brings home about £300 a week. So that’s a lot more money and we’ve got the same level qualifications.
I could go and work in Top Shop or somewhere 9 to 5 and I’d get paid more money. I think that’s why a lot of girls leave hairdressing. It’s because of the pay and the hours.
