BBC Female Journalists' Equal Pay Claim Rejected, Discrimination Case to Proceed

A tribunal has dismissed the equal pay claims of four female BBC journalists but allowed their age and sex discrimination claims to advance.

Four female journalists, including Martine Croxall and Karin Giannone, lost their bid to sue the BBC for equal pay but can still pursue age and sex discrimination claims.
The journalists were previously involved in a merger of the BBC’s domestic and global news channels, which they allege was managed unfairly.
They claim a pay gap of £36,000 compared to male counterpart Matthew Amroliwala, highlighting systemic pay discrepancies.
The full tribunal to hear their discrimination claims is scheduled for March next year, with the journalists committed to seeking justice.
The BBC maintains that the recruitment process was fair and has complied with equal pay laws, despite the allegations.
