Campaigns

Living Wage for Resene

Living Wage for Resene is a campaign led by the Greater Wellington Living Wage Alliance, focused on shifting Resene Paints — one of the Hutt Valley’s largest employers — to pay its manufacturing staff at the Hutt and Lower Hutt factories the Living Wage.

Living Wage Schools

This campaign aims to win the Living Wage for nearly 15,000 low-paid workers by uniting school communities around a call for central government to pay the Living Wage.

Local Government

Local government employs many low-paid workers, and chapters of our movement across the country are focused on shifting these entities to become accredited Living Wage employers, using all levers at their disposal to ensure more workers are paid a Living Wage.

VUW for Living Wage

This campaign, run by the Wellington Community Alliance, focuses on ensuring that Victoria University of Wellington — the city’s second-largest employer — becomes a Living Wage Employer, paying all its directly employed staff (such as tutors, security guards, and administrative workers) and contracted workers (such as cleaners and catering staff) the Living Wage.
