Poverty is no joke – all workers deserve a living wage.
March 18, 2025
This April Fool’s Day, the National-led coalition government is “raising” the minimum wage by a miserable 35 cents per hour – an increase that falls 1% short of inflation. This is effectively a pay cut for thousands of Aotearoa’s lowest paid and most vulnerable workers.
Unite Union is organising protests in Auckland, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch. Te Hautū Kahurangi | Tertiary Education Union is proud to endorse this mahi and encourages you to attend on 1 April to support your fellow union members in low wage sectors.
AUCKLAND: 4pm @ Britomart Mc Donalds.
PALMERSTON NORTH: 7:30 @ The Globe Theatre.
