The Fair Pay Agreements Act 2022, now repealed, was an act of parliament in New Zealand. The act facilitated a framework for collective bargaining for fair pay agreements at an industry-wide level.[1] On 25 October 2023, the Bill passed its third reading in Parliament. While the bill was supported by the Labour, Green and Māori parties, it was opposed by the opposition National and ACT parties, which vowed to repeal it if elected during the 2023 New Zealand general election.[2][3]
On 14 December 2023, the National-led coalition government repealed the Fair Pay Agreements Act.[4] Effective 20 December, New Zealand reverted to the previous workplace framework where collective bargaining was limited to unions and particular employers.[5]
