The sex issue
... 21st century. Have, as it has been argued, the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and Equal Pay Act 1970 reached the end of their capabilities? Undeniably, these pieces of legislation have achieved great things as employment lawyer Martin Brewer of Mills and Reeve commented in a recent Workplace Law Network forum discussion, "thirty years ago it was lawful to refuse to employ someone just because they were female" (see the full discussion at www.workplacelaw. net/forum/thread.php?thread_id=867), which is certainly not accepted behaviour in today's workplace.
