    Labour commits to fair pay for defence force if re-elected
    The Labour Party is committing to fair pay for defence force personnel, if re-elected. Currently, military personnel do not have the same rights to negotiate their pay and conditions as other employees. The policy, announced today, would have the Remuneration Authority independently set fair rates and allowances for those in uniform. Labour would also review the Defence Act 1990 to ensure it is fit for the future. Labour defence spokesperson Andrew Little spoke to Charlotte Cook.
