Care & support workers urge the government to address pay equity claim before 2027 fuel tax increase.
Care & support workers who rely on their cars for client visits urge the government to address their pay equity claim before a 2027 fuel excise tax hike impacts their pay. The Public Service Association Te Pūkenga Here Tikanga Mahi says that with increasing fuel excise tax by 22 cents/litre and a $50 rise in car registration fees, care & support workers will suffer unless their pay increases. These workers travel extensively in their own vehicles to provide essential care to vulnerable individuals.
