PSA taking IRD to court over use of personality tests

From Morning Report, 8:20 am on 9 October 2017

The Public Service Association is taking Inland Revenue to the Employment Court for asking its staff take personality tests as they reapply for their jobs. IRD initially told 800 workers they would have to sit the tests. Now it says staff can choose whether to complete the assessments but they say it may affect their chances at getting the job. Erin Polaczuk is the PSA's National Secretary and joins us to discuss the case.
