Council support for Living Wage
In the midst of a cost of living crisis, Porirua City Council has committed to paying its staff a fair wage.
Council staff have been paid the living wage since 2019, but last week council voted to formally apply for accreditation through Living Wage Movement Aotearoa New Zealand.
It means council will continue to pay the living wage as it increases annually.
Porirua Mayor Anita Baker supports the Living Wage.
The current living wage is $22.75 an hour which will rise to $23.65 in September – more than 10% higher than the adult minimum wage of $21.20.
Do you agree that council staff should be paid the Loving Wage?
