PROPOSALS FOR EQUAL PAY
P.S.A. Submissions To Government
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, March 21.
The Public Service Association, after an interview last month with the Prime Minister (Mr Nash), has submitted its own proposals as to how the principle of equal pay should be introduced into the service.The plan provides for full achievement of equal pay within the service in the next three years. The association’s letter to Mr Nash states that the Government has been thinking in terms of spreading the implementation of equal pay over a period of seven years, as has been done in Britain. The size and complexity of the British problem might have justified a longer programme, but “we can see nothing in the New Zealand problem which justifies any longer period than three years,” states the letter. Any action on equal pay for women in the Public Service would be considered before the coming session, but he was not prepared to say that legislation would be brought down this year, the Acting Prime Minister (Mr Skinner) said today.
