Ko ngā kaikōrero Tōpūtanga Tapuhi Kaitiaki o Aotearoa — NZNO i te nohoanga hou, ko Kerri Nuku, kaiwhakahaere, ko te perehitene Anne Daniels me te kaiarahi tautika utu Glenda Alexander.
Tōpūtanga Tapuhi Kaitiaki o Aotearoa — NZNO speakers at the latest hearing were kaiwhakahaere Kerri NUku, president Anne Daniels and senior pay equity lead Glenda Alexander.
Kua kīia e Nuku, i roa ake tā ngā nēhi Māori whai wāhi i te pakanga tautika utu i ngā nēhi kē.
Kaiwhakahaere Kerri Nuku said Māori nurses had been involved in the pay equity battle for longer than other nurses.
“Nā te mea ka rawekehia katoa ngā mōtika o ngā wāhine Māori me ngā tapuhi Māori hoki i roto i te pūnaha hauora.”
“Because the rights of Māori women and Māori nurses have been completely undermined within the health system.”
Hei tā Daniels, ka tōia atu ngā wāhine ki ngā Takiwā Whēuriuri e te whakatau ki te whakakore i ngā kerēme.
Daniels said the decision to axe pay equity claims would drag women back into the Dark Ages.
“Ko te take o ēnei panonitanga ko te penapena i ngā tāra piriona i runga i ngā tuarā wāhine.”
“The impetus for these changes was to save billions of dollars on the backs of women.”
Ki te tere titiro

- Ka tino pākaha mai ngā paearu hou ki ngā kerēme hei whakauru anō.
- Kua penapenahia e ngā whakarerekētanga, e whakakore ana i ngā kerēme e 12 o te NZNO, te $12.8 piriona i tā te Kāwanatanga Tahua Matua 2025.
- I te Paraire ka whai wāhi te NZNO ki tētahi hunga uniana i te Kōti Matua kia wero i tā te Kāwanatanga whakatureture — e tohe ana rātou kāhore i te hāngai tika taua ture ki ngā ture mōtika tangata.
