DO AS WE SAY NOT AS WE DO - EHRC

The Government’s controversial equality watchdog was last night accused of ‘rank hypocrisy’ for flouting its own policies on fair pay.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has angered business leaders by ordering a crackdown on hard-pressed companies that fail to pay the same rates to employees doing similar work.

But official figures show that more than two years after it was set up to stamp out discrimination, the commission is paying its own ethnic minority workers almost ten per cent less than white staff – an embarrassment for its black chairman Trevor Phillips.

And disabled workers at the quango, which employs more than 500 staff, have slipped behind their able-bodied colleagues by nearly nine per cent.

Moreover, the figures show the pay gap for both minority groups has worsened over the past year, and female staff also faces pay discrimination compared to male counterparts.

 ‘We have the ludicrous situation where the taxpayer-funded body that goes around lecturing everyone else about fair pay is one of the worst offenders themselves.’

In 2008, a national newspaper revealed that the £112,000-a-year equality chief was paid by Channel 4 to give it advice on the fallout of the Big Brother racism row involving Indian actress Shilpa Shetty, provoking accusations of a conflict of interest.

The EHRC – which received more than £61million from the Government last year – encourages companies to carry out equal-pay audits to compare the earnings of staff doing the same job or similar work that requires equivalent skills, effort and decision-making.

The latest available figures up to the end of October show that the quango is paying 9.66 per cent more to white staff than to ethnic minority staff, 8.9 per cent more to able-bodied than to disabled employees and 3.04 per cent more to men than women.

Surely not, I hear you say this is the equalities commission this is the race industries leading Quango. This is not what Phillips gets paid £112,000 for a four day week, is it?

It’s a wonder that none of these BME’s hasn’t claimed ‘racial discrimination about the way the EHRC is treating them.

But who would believe them anyway as we all know that only White Employers can be racist and Philips is Black.

This is rank hypocrisy. They should be ashamed of themselves.

It goes without saying that the National Front will naturally close the race industry down sack all its hangers on and restore White rights once again.

But how dare this arm of the LIEbour party £61m attempting to race police OUR country without putting its own house in order.
