“The Living Wage story is a story of power and a story of winning. But the story isn’t over. Wherever workers struggle on poverty pay rates we need to build power to win. That story goes on. - Lyndy McIntyre

Lyndy McIntyre has been the voice of a movement which transformed the lives of working people, like Rebecca from Sth Sudan. Thanks to the collective power of Living Wage Aotearoa NZ, Rebecca can pay her bills & spend time with her kids. The story is told in a new book. We have the Power to Win

I was stoked to be part of the crowd at Unity Books celebrating the launch of ‘Power to Win - The Living Wage Movement in Aotearoa New Zealand.’ Great to catch up with old colleagues and to be reminded that great things are possible when people/communities organise no matter who is in Govt. #Nzpol

“Companies do look out for each other. So like, if there were three companies to choose from, we’d go for the living wage one purely for the fact that they’re giving that back to their staff.” #LivingWage #NZpol #BetterBusiness

“Braemer Hospital CE F. Michel explains healthcare companies in particular should feel a duty to pay a living wage. There’s an absolutely undeniable link between health outcomes & poverty. When people are poor, they have poor health outcomes & you can’t unsee that info once you’ve seen it.” #NZpol

Living wage employers stand by stance as business sentiment wanes: Businesses say paying a living wage is possible, even in current tough economic conditions. It comes as one of the founders of the living wage movement publishes a book in a bid to keep the momentum going. #nzpol

“Minimum-wage laws are intended to put an absolute bottom on the depths to which wages might otherwise sink left to their own—that is, corporate—devices. But minimum wages typically don’t approach what the church has called a just wage.” #LivingWage #Kikorangi

I was curious re changes in the gap between the Living Wage & the Minimum Wage... The sharp turn was last year - even though the min wage jumped up (nominally) by more than previous. This year is different, as the annual change graph shows. Min wage increase was only half even MBIE's recommendation.

The Living Wage considers basic expenses, and gives breathing room for rest, activities, or saving for a rainy day. It’s good for collective wellbeing, and our economy.
