New Zealand keeps $28.95 living wage for gov contracts, protecting 5,000 workers from major pay cuts.
New Zealand has retained the living wage requirement for government contracts, ensuring workers earn at least $28.95 hourly, a win for unions and advocacy groups.
The decision, reversing earlier plans to remove the policy, protects around 5,000 workers from potential annual pay cuts of up to $11,336.
Officials credit strong public and union pressure, including worker testimonies and widespread citizen engagement, for the outcome.
The move aims to uphold economic fairness, prevent increased welfare costs, and maintain dignity for low-paid contract workers across public services.
