Four female BBC News presenters, Martine Croxall, Karin Giannone, Kasia Madera, and Annita McVeigh, have initiated legal action against the BBC, alleging age and sex discrimination, and issues with equal pay. They claim to have been kept in 'off-air limbo', harassed, and assert that the hiring process they were subjected to was a 'sham' and possibly 'rigged'. The presenters, who have reportedly been paid £36,000 less annually than their male counterparts, accuse the BBC of 'grinding down' women over pay. They have taken their case to the London Central Employment Tribunal. However, they recently faced a setback when a judge dismissed part of their lawsuit, specifically the claim concerning equal pay.
