The Government has rushed through changes to the Equal Pay Act that will now make it harder for workers to make claims of unfair pay based on gender discrimination.
The move will save billions for the government's budget but will scrap 33 existing pay equity claims affecting over 150,000 workers in traditionally female-dominated roles like teachers and support workers.

Hi Neighbours
Hastings Riding for the Disabled's microwave has stopped working, just when we need it most to heat up wheat packs for sore RDA Coaches and volunteers and more importantly our horses and ponies who also appreciate some warmth on their backs on a cold morning.
We do also use it for heating up soup and normal things as well!
If you can help please get in touch
Kind Regards
