Society: Blacks `denied fair deal at work'

Black people are not getting a fair deal at work even though they are just as well qualified as whites, according to a new report today. There are more young black people in full time education than white, while equal numbers of black and white people go on to higher education, the TUC study found.

But black people continue to be under represented in higher-paying jobs, suggesting that racial discrimination is continuing.

The TUC today launches a series of new posters showing the positive contribution black workers make to the economy which have been sent to offices and factories throughout the country.
