Next government must make pay equity a priority
New report from PSA calls on next Government to settle claim within first 100 days
The PSA is demanding whoever forms the next Government make settling the care and support workers’ pay equity claim an immediate priority and repeal the outrageous changes to pay equity law.
The call comes in a new report – Voices of Pay Equity Lost– authored by Professor Katherine Ravenswood and Emma Hitchcock from AUT.
The report launched at Parliament today tells the personal stories of eight care and support workers whose pay equity claim – along with 32 other pay equity claims – was cancelled when the Government gutted the Equal Pay Act under urgency last year, in less than a day, with no consultation and no warning.
