Next Overturns Equal Pay Ruling, Raising Concerns About Fair Wages The high stakes battle between Next, one of Britain's largest retailers, and its warehouse staff over equal pay has reached a turning point.
In a decision that will be closely watched by employers across the UK, an employment appeal tribunal has ruled in favor of Next on the key issue of basic pay.
The original employment tribunal ruling in 2022 found that shop workers were being paid lower hourly wages than warehouse workers, who are predominantly male, while shop assistants are mostly female.
