- Description
The cartoon is divided into two - 'Living-Hell wage' and 'Living-like-pigs wage'. Those in the first demand 'How do we get up there?'; Those in the second reply 'You can't - the balcony's full.'
Accompanying note from cartoonist states, 'There's an almost Dickensian dichotomy between the living wage sought by some Auckland Council staff and the 123 staff who are paid [cue loud pig snorting] over $200,000.'
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. However the Living Wage coalition was disappointed that the Mayor would not extend his proposal to staff working under contract.
