There is neither a moral nor an economic justification for a minimum wage below a living wage. There is only greed and politicians that facilitate it.

Everyone deserves a Living Wage, a life of thriving not a life just surviving on poverty wages.

The phrase "unskilled labor" is used to distract you from the fact that the work they are doing is necessary for society to function. Just because some necessary jobs require less training time than others doesn't mean those people deserve to live in poverty.

The Living Wage is an hourly rate. Set apart from the minimum wage, it’s worker and whānau focused.

Paying the Living Wage is voluntary. Employers who pay the Living Wage want to make sure their workers get enough money to live with dignity.

The Living Wage Movement is a collaboration of faith groups, community organisations and unions.

We’re diverse, but share a common view – that the Living Wage is one way to lift working people from poverty and inequality. www.livingwage.org.nz

The Living Wage considers basic expenses, and gives breathing room for rest, activities, or saving for a rainy day. It’s good for collective wellbeing, and our economy.

Vivian @suchnerve "If you want a living wage, get a better job" is a fascinating way to spin "I acknowledge that your current job needs to be done, but I think whomever does that job deserves to be in poverty."
