Labour's Chris Hipkins unveils party plan for pay equity changes

Labour's leader says he would reverse the Government's pay equity changes - but that doesn't mean going back to how things were before. 

Laws passed under urgency last week halted 33 existing pay equity claims, and increased the threshold for future filings.

Chris Hipkins says he can't be specific about which settings Labour would reinstate if returned to Government next year. 

He explained they don't want to do what National did - and again halt claims that might be 18 months down the track.
