Gender 'Neutral' Car Insurance for the UK

Women in the UK normally expect to pay 40% less than male drivers, but after a landmark EU ruling that will no longer be the case. Many people will be affected, possibly millions of customers.

Young women may see their insurance car costs soar, while young me may achieve a small decrease. Young male drivers are the riskiest segment of the car market.

Walmart in equal rights court action

Yesterday was International Women’s Day. So perhaps it is pertinent to highlight an impending court case in the United States between 6 female workers (or associates) and Walmart.

The women claim they have been overlooked wrongfully for promotion and pay increases during their tenure with the supermarket giant. If the case is proven successful by the US Supreme Court then it could change corporate history and perhaps at least in the supermarket industry provide equality for women.

This class action – which is when a small number of claimants sue on behalf of a larger group – it could result in a payout to over 1.6 million women Walmart associates.

The claim is filed in the famous 1964 Civil Rights Act which was passed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson and is more famous for trying to improve the rights and freedom of African Americans in the US.

So if Walmart loses the case then they could not only find their reputation damaged severely, but out of pocket to the tune of billions of dollars!
