Interesting events recently regarding equal pay; the first being @Cosmopolitan UK's campaign and e-petition to create equal pay auditing in the UK for businesses with more than 250 employees. A slow step in the right direction.

The second development, being less positive, was the move in Wisconsin to end equal pay for men and women as men need to earn more. Several articles have talked about the need for men to earn more as they will be the breadwinners. Even if not at that time!

What is more concerning is that this seems to have happened so quietly.

The most important thing to take from this is the importance of equal pay in the UK and the need to show your support: here.
