A desire for change to help close the Pacific Pay Gap

An Inquiry Report outlines barriers in finding a job, the recruitment process, negotiating pay, seeking promotion and more.

Advocacy Manager, Lisa Meto Fox, says they'd like the Equal Pay Act expanded, to add ethnicity and disability, as grounds for raising pay equity claims.

She says they'd also like to see the minimum wage lifted to the living wage.

Fox says they know that lots of people that spoke with them, had worked for the same company for decades, but had never seen any progression.
