Dunedin City Council workers to earn living wage
Dunedin is the latest council in the country to offer its workers a living wage, which will make a difference to the wider community, supporters say.
The city council is one of more than 150 employers signed-up to pay a living wage – $21.15 an hour – to employees and contractors, following the example set by Wellington City Council. The Auckland Council announced on Sunday it would offer the wage to its workers, but was yet to extend the offer to contractors.
Paying the living wage put money into the pockets of workers who would then spend it in their local community, making it a "win-win", Living Wage Movement Aotearoa New Zealand accreditation coordinator Felicia Scherrer says.
