New Zealand plans to amend its Equal Pay Act, restricting pay equity claims and facing criticism from unions.
The New Zealand government plans to amend the Equal Pay Act, making it harder to file pay equity claims and discontinuing existing claims.
Minister Brooke van Velden says the changes will make the process more robust and sustainable, aiming to address genuine pay equity issues with stronger evidence.
However, unions criticize the move, claiming it undermines progress on gender equality and fairness, potentially widening the gender pay gap and affecting over 95,000 workers.
The changes will be pushed through Parliament under urgency.
