Aotearoa is standing up for pay equity.
We know it makes no sense to suppress wages for people like support workers, library assistants and hospital administrators.
We must keep the pressure on and demand the Government restore the claims, undo their damaging law changes, and deliver full settlements to all workers left waiting.
Here's how you can help:
Keep an eye out for Protect Pay Equity events
The Council of Trade Unions (CTU) will list upcoming pay equity events on its website:
Sign the petition
Unions have launched a petition calling on the Government to:
- Reverse all claim cancelations
- Undo Equal Pay Act changes
- Deliver pay equity
Add your voice to the tens of thousands of people who've whole-heartedly rejected the Government's changes:
Join your union
One of the most effective things you can do to support pay equity is join your union. Unions are at the forefront at the fight for pay equity, and joining will add to their collective strength.
If you're not already a union member, find out which union covers your work:
Make a submission to the People's Select Committee
The People’s Select Committee has been established so the voices of the people of Aotearoa can be heard on pay equity.

You have a right to stand up for pay equity
If you work for public, health, or community services, the state sector, or local government, you can be publicly active and vocal about protecting pay equity when you’re outside of work. You should take precautions to keep yourself safe.
