Let’s Melt The Wage Freeze
On Friday November 27th, thousands of workers took part in rallies and marches in 27 cities and towns across the country, demanding that the Government’s wage freeze for state sector employees was lifted. The protests focused on the struggles of hospital and school support staff, and employees at the Ministry of Justice, but many people from other sectors supported the demand and turned out to show their solidarity. Many of the attendees were on strike for the duration of the rallies.
Members of the Aotearoa Workers Solidarity Movement were present at rallies and marches in Auckland, Palmerston North, Levin, Wellington and Nelson. Click below to read the text of a leaflet handed out by AWSM members at the protests.
