新西兰政府反对修改薪资公平法,认为它损害了妇女的薪酬平等。 NZ government faces backlash for changes to pay equity law seen as harming women's pay equality.

新西兰政府面临对最近薪酬公平法改革的批评,这些改革通过议会匆忙进行,反对者说,这些改革破坏了妇女在以女性为主的行业中的薪资平等。 New Zealand's government faces criticism over recent pay equity law changes, rushed through parliament, which opponents say undermine women's pay equality in female-dominated industries. 改革的目标是通过提高索偿门槛和允许雇主毫无理由地选择退出多雇主索偿,每年节省多达15.5亿美元。 The reforms aim to save up to $1.55 billion annually by raising the threshold for claims and allowing employers to opt out of multi-employer claims without reason. 批评者认为,这些变化使得处理历史上的男女薪酬差距和低估妇女工作价值的工作更加困难。 Critics argue these changes make it harder to address historical gender pay gaps and undervalue women's work.
