Today (Monday July 1), care and support workers will rally in locations across the country calling on the Government to
fully fund a pay equity settlement.
The unions for care and support workers – E tū, PSA, and NZNO – are supporting public rallies in Auckland, Hamilton, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin, and
Invercargill.
1 July marks two years since the pay equity claim was initiated in 2022. It was recently filed at the Employment Relations Authority after significant delays and slow progress.
The claim has implications for thousands of people working in aged care, disability support, home support, and mental
health and addictions, and hundreds of health and community services.Day of Action: Fund pay equity for care and support workers nowRally times and locationsAucklandVictoria Park, Auckland CBD2pmHamiltonMeet at PSA office – 489 Anglesea street1:30pmNew PlymouthMeet at the new E tū office: 139 Powderham street3pmPalmerston NorthThe Square / Te Marae o Hine (next to The Verdict cafe)12pmWellingtonHeretaunga Boating Club, 138 The Esplanade, Pito-one (Petone)1:30pmNelsonMeet at Nelson City Council – 110 Trafalgar Street1:30pmChristchurchHornby Club, 17 Carmen Road, Hornby1:30pmTimaruCorner of Wai-Iti Road and Evans Street1:30pmDunedinOutside Median Mall, 285 George Street12pmInvercargillMeet at E tū office, 33 Don street1:45pm
