Gina Lockyer: Living Wage Movement spokesperson on the increased living wage
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays
Research claims that an increase to the living wage won't push up the cost of living. From September first, it will jump to $26 an hour, $3.30 above minimum wage. It's an almost 10-percent rise since last year. Living Wage Movement's Gina Lockyer told Mike Hosking their research shows that businesses make cost savings elsewhere, so they don't pass on the costs to consumers.
