The Early Childhood Council says the legal action against the Government over its Pay Parity policy is about taking a stand.
\\nPay Parity aims to close the gap between teachers in education and care centres and those in kindergartens, but the council says it\'s making older, often female, teachers with more experience unaffordable, forcing providers to put up parent fees.
\\nThe council claims it breaches the right to freedom from discrimination for those teachers.
\\nCEO Simon Laube told Mike Hosking that the ministry has an advisory group that it\'s been working with for about a year.
\\nBut he says the claims they\'ve been raising seem to have been ignored.
