Dunedin City Council workers to earn living wage
Dunedin is the latest council in the country to offer its workers a living wage, which will make a difference to the wider community, supporters say.
The city council is one of more than 150 employers signed-up to pay a living wage – $21.15 an hour – to employees and contractors, following the example set by Wellington City Council. The Auckland Council announced on Sunday it would offer the wage to its workers, but was yet to extend the offer to contractors.
Paying the living wage put money into the pockets of workers who would then spend it in their local community, making it a "win-win", Living Wage Movement Aotearoa New Zealand accreditation coordinator Felicia Scherrer says.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
