The provincial Coalition for Pay Equity is applauding the province's move to implement pay equity for five private-sector groups. The provincial government has committed financial support for 2010 to achieve pay equity for workers in child-care; home support; nursing home; and transition homes. Coalition Executive Director, Johanne Perron tells CHSJ news it's a step in the right direction but pay equity legislation is still needed.
The minister responsible for the status of women, Mary Schryer, made the announcement yesterday in the legislative assembly. The Pay Equity Act will take effect April 1, 2010.
