News Daily: Tesco pay claim and Musk's rocket success

The supermarket chain Tesco could face a bill of £4bn in a case over equal pay for women, writes BBC business editor Kamal Ahmed. Lawyers say female staff could get up to £20,000 in back pay, having received less money than men for comparable work. Paula Lee, of Leigh Day solicitors, said the most common rate for women was £8 an hour, whereas for men the hourly rate could be as high as £11 an hour. Up to 200,000 workers could be affected by unequal pay, she added. Tesco said all its staff could progress equally and were paid fairly, whatever their gender or background.
