An open letter will be delivered to parliament this morning calling on the government to crack on with legislation requiring transparency from businesses on the pay gap.
The letter comes after the Pacific Pay Gap Inquiry Report found that for every dollar a Pakeha man made in 2021, Pakeha women earned just 89 cents.
For Maori men it dropped to 86 cents, Maori women and Pasifika men earned 81 cents, and Pasifika women earned just 75 cents on the dollar.
The letter is signed by 51 businesses, unions and other groups, with the likes of ANZ bank, Sky City, and DB Breweries among the signatories.
Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Saunoamaali'i Karanina Sumeo spoke to Corin Dann.
