Through pure people power - with workers, faith, and community uniting - the Govt has decided to keep the Living Wage in its procurement guidelines for contracted cleaners, catering workers, and security guards.

This is fantastic!
The E Tū Fb post did a shout out to one of the cleaners at my work, Mareta, for speaking up on the need for them to be paid the living wage.
Mareta does essential work. If she didn’t do her job properly, the collections would be at risk of damage.
She does amazing work ❤️

GOOD NEWS ALERT 🚨
Today the government relented to pressure from the @livingwageaotearoa.bsky.social and retained the requirement for contracted workers to be paid at least the Living Wage rate in Government Contracts. Around 5,000 workers will likely benefit from this decision

The decision is a demonstration of the organising power of trade unions, charities, NGO's and the wider Living Wage movement. We should celebrate their victory and the lasting good it will achieve for thousands of households in New Zealand.

It’s clear that someone around the Cabinet Table could see that cutting the wages of some of the lowest paid workers in the country is not a way to build a more prosperous economy, and we should thank them. More of their voice is needed to prevent other harmful reform.

Removing the Living Wage protection in government contracts would likely cost the government additional money in higher welfare payments and other costs. The only beneficiaries of the proposal are the companies that would have been able to slash wages by up to $11,336 a year.

The living wage is set at a level that allows New Zealanders to live a decent life. Decent work and decent wages should be the hallmark of employment in New Zealand. The previous government recognised this by adding it to the guidelines in 2021 procurement.govt.nz/assets/procu...

The Living Wage is an hourly rate. Set apart from the minimum wage, it’s worker and whānau focused.
Paying the Living Wage is voluntary. Employers who pay the Living Wage want to make sure their workers get enough money to live with dignity. #nzpol
