On Human Rights Day, New Zealand unions demand end to gender pay gap in care, health sectors.

On Human Rights Day, New Zealand organizations are calling for an end to gender-based pay discrimination, particularly in care and support roles. The Public Service Association and the New Zealand Nurses Organisation urge the government to address pay equity for workers in care, libraries, and the health sector. Despite a $2 billion pay equity settlement in 2017, delays and ongoing pay disparities persist, with unions filing new claims. The Pay Equity Coalition Aotearoa emphasizes the need for the government to act urgently to ensure fair compensation for these workers.
