Pay Equity Group Wants Improvement In The Private Sector

The NB Coalition for Pay Equity will be setting its sights on improving pay equity in the private sector.

Spokesperson Louise Imbeault tells CHSJ News the Alward government recently committed to make pay equity adjustments for all the public sector and four groups in the private sector.

But she says more needs to be done to improve private pay and she hopes the private sector will be on board.

While private companies are focused on the bottom line, she believes everyone can share the wealth.

The Alward government recently committed pay equity adjustments over the next six years beginning with 6.4 million this year.
