Rob Campbell: Te Whatu Ora Board Chair says interim order to ERA will make a difference to nurse pay equity rates

A potential step forward in addressing equity issues in the health sector.

Te Whatu Ora is asking the Employment Relations Authority for interim orders - to fix pay equity rates for nurses.

It would increase pay for most by more than 14 percent, putting Kiwi workers on a par-or better, with Australian nurses.

Te Whatu Ora Board Chair Rob Campbell told Tim Dower it will make a difference.

He says it settles the long standing aspect of a pay equity dispute in the workforce.
