On 8 November 2013 the Mayor of Auckland Len Brown tabled the council budget and proposed to phase in the living wage for all Auckland Council staff from 2014. The PSA said that the living wage would make a big difference to its members within the Council such as library and leisure staff who do very valuable work yet earn minimum wages.
