PSA members will be turning out to support New Zealand women and pay equity at a multi-union Protect Pay Equity hui at Parliament tomorrow.
The rally Is being held on Budget Day to highlight how the recent pay equity law changes were rushed through Parliament to free up billions of dollars to plug the gaps in the Government’s Budget, says PSA National Secretary Fleur Fitzsimons.
“The undemocratic pay equity law extinguished 33 pay equity claims covering more than 150,000 mainly female workers,” Fitzsimons says.
“This means the Budget will be paid for by taking money from support workers, library assistants, social workers and others to fund tax breaks for landlords and support for tobacco companies.
The Protect Pay Equity hui will be held in Parliament Grounds, 1pm to 2pm, on Budget Day Thursday 22 May 2025.
