Women on the front line for a Living Wage

Organisations and supporters joined the Living Wage Movement and the Auckland Women's Centre to promote decent wages for contracted workers and staff at Auckland Council as one way to reduce poverty among women in the city. The Living Wage Movement has joined with National Council of Women, NZ Women's Watch and the Auckland Women's Centre in the Pay Equity Coalition Auckland because the recent victory in the Equal Pay case could see low paid women workers earn a Living Wage and proper recognition of the value of their labour.

West fundraiser celebrates women!

Living Wage West is celebrating women at its fundraiser that coincides with Mothers Day weekend, recognising that women's work underpins many of the structures that make our communities work,  but that work is often undervalued and always underpaid.  The funds will contribute to the campaign for a Living Wage at Auckland Council at next year's elections.
Low paid women in the aged care sector stand up for their rights along with active residents of their aged care facility.  As Anglicans and Catholics organise within their communities to ensure they collectively back a Living Wage; workers in faith-based agencies are standing up for a fair share.
