Auckland Action Against Poverty stands in solidarity with all public sector workers affected by the Government’s announced pay freeze.
On Wednesday the Government announced that workers earning between $60,000 and $100,000 would only receive a pay rise if there is “serious recruitment pressure in their area”, and that workers earning over $100,000 would receive no pay rises.

Group (WEAG) released their report ‘Whakamana Tāngata -
Restoring Dignity to Social Security’ and in that period
none of the full 42 recommendations have been implemented by
