Lucy Powell - ring any bells?
It may not yet, but she is the shadow childcare and children minister and she is calling for a change in office culture where part-time or job share workers are viewed as lower status employees.
She claims working mothers in particular who work on a part-time basis can actually be better employees because they do not waste time in the office browsing Facebook or nursing a hangover!
The MP for Manchester Central has said that part-time staff are treated as lower status employees, despite often working harder and far from being less productive, those working three or four days a week can squeezing the work of a full-time employee into fewer hours.
Her comments came as a survey was released that shows fewer than one in seven employees in top jobs work part-time and that most of the country's best-paid jobs are 'no-go' areas for people not willing to work full-time hours.
Official figures show that women working part-time or taking time off to have children means their pay stops rising a decade earlier than men.
Miss Powell, who gave birth to son Tom in May last year, said she wanted to 'champion working mums’.
She said: ‘Part-timers and people who are on flexible working contracts often aren’t given the same status in the workplace.
‘We need to put these issues centre stage because they are incredibly important.
'They are issues of fundamental inequality. We need to show companies and champion more women who successfully are able to manage a career whilst either working part-time or doing that while having children.
‘So we can debunk the myths that we are less productive and less successful because we might work three or four days a week as opposed to working full-time.
