More than a quarter British mothers who have returned to work feel discriminated(歧视) against. This is according to a survey organized by the legal firm Slater and Gordon. Researchers questioned 1,975 women about their experiences in the workplace before and after giving birth. Most of the women had never made any kind of complaint as they thought it would be a waste of time and be even worse to their career prospects(前景). Complaints in the survey included mothers being overlooked for promotion, and more junior employees progressing faster up the career ladder. Another common complaint was their points of view being considered less worthy than those of colleagues without children.
The findings contrast with the opinions of managers and employers. A director at Britain’s Confederation of British Industry (CBI) said, “We don’t recognize the picture painted here. Our experience is that businesses are better than ever at managing maternity leave(产假) and reintegrating(使重新纳入) mothers on their return.” The UK’s employment minister Jo Swinson said, “The government is committed to making sure that more businesses make the best use of women’s talents throughout the organization, from boardroom to the shop floor.” Lawyer Kiran Daurka said, “It is shocking that so few women speak out when they suffer discrimination.” She accused employers of avoiding the issues and of “burying their heads in the sand”.
