The TUC has highlighted some of the many ways that 3.2 million Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) employees in the UK still face discrimination at work. These include black workers getting paid 8.3% less than white workers, black workers with A-levels earning 10% less than their white peers, BAME workers are over a third more likely than white workers to be stuck in temporary or zero-hours work, and TUC polling shows that over half (57%) of BAME women affected by bullying and harassment have suffered mental health problems.
