Government of New Brunswick's Review of the Pay Equity Act, 2009
For 25 years, the New Brunswick Coalition for Pay Equity has been fighting for one simple principle: equal pay for work of equal value.
Today, we have an opportunity to make that principle a reality for all workers: the Government of New Brunswick has launched public consultations on pay equity to extend the Pay Equity Act, 2009 to the private and care sectors.
This is the moment we've been working for!
Your Voice Can Shape the Future of Pay Equity
A consultation is an opportunity for New Brunswickers to tell the government what matters to them.
Whether you are a worker, union representative, advocate or simply someone who believes in fairness, your voice matters.
