Most of us are here are mothers or fathers, and the thought of our children working in companies in a way that they were exploited is just not tenable, let alone our friends, our family, our colleagues, and those who live in our communities. Those who exploit their workers are on notice that their practices will not be tolerated, nor are they acceptable to the vast majority who live in our communities. The norms and practices reinforced by fair pay agreements are those reflected by our diverse communities. No longer should people have to work in a way that is unacceptable to the majority of New Zealanders and, to be honest, no longer acceptable to the vast majority of our trading partners either. As global consumers become more engaged, more educated and more enabled, they will want to know that they are buying products from companies that employ their workers, that treat their workers, in a way that is reinforced by these fair pay agreements.
