Female BBC Journalists Denied Equal Pay Claim in Tribunal Hearing

Four senior female BBC journalists who have launched legal action against the broadcaster claiming a job application process was rigged will not be able to bring a claim for equal pay, an employment tribunal has ruled.

Martine Croxall, Karin Giannone, Kasia Madera, and Annita McVeigh had included a claim for equal pay as part of their legal challenge to the BBC but this was dismissed at a preliminary hearing at the Central London Employment Tribunal.
