Standing with workers affected by the theft of pay equity, handing over a petition of more than 93,000 signatures. It’s been 53 years since the Equal Pay Act and this government is taking us backwards not forwards. Join your union and make this a one-term government.
Hundreds of workers gathered at Parliament today as we handed over our Protect Pay Equity petition to opposition MPs. With over 93,000 signatures, the message is clear: New Zealanders will NOT accept the Government's gutting of pay equity.
