Equal Pay For City Council Contracts

Women in full-time work earn 17% less than men. It gets worse for part-time women workers (nearly 36% less).

Currently, Coventry City Council's procurement policy states that "equal opportunities" must be observed by companies bidding for contracts. Perhaps it should be explicit that if you want the council's work, women must be paid the same as men.
