All provincial civil servants will soon have the benefit of pay equity. The provincial government has introduced new legislation to extend pay equity to schools, hospitals and Crown corporations. Rosella Melanson of the New Brunswick Advisory Council on the Status of Women tells us this is great for employees in government.
The minister responsible for the Status of Women, Mary Schryer wouldn't comment on pay equity for the private sector, but hinted she would have an announcement next week. The legislation will take effect next April.
