New Zealand's Resene workers strike again, demanding a living wage after rejecting an 8-cent raise.
New Zealand paint manufacturer Resene workers are on strike for a second time, rejecting an 8-cent hourly pay rise they call inadequate.
The E tū Union argues the company, which earns substantial revenue, could afford a living wage of $28.95 per hour at a cost of just $200,000 annually.
Workers, many earning just above the $23.50 minimum wage, say they struggle with basic expenses and feel undervalued despite long service.
The union criticizes Resene’s focus on sponsorships over fair pay, while the company says its offer aligns with sector norms and emphasizes ongoing negotiations.
Community support, including fundraising and boycotts, continues to grow.
