Item 4a) |
Living Wage Considerations for Hutt City Council (17/264) |
||||
|
|
Speaking under public comment, Mr Archie Kerr elaborated on how a living wage would contribute greatly to improve the living situation of many families.
Speaking under public comment, Mr Peter Cranney elaborated on Section 10; Schedule 7, Clause 36 and Section 59 legislation of the Local Government Act 2002. He acknowledged there were conflicting legal opinions regarding the legislation. He highlighted that local government was obliged to be a good employer, which included providing for the fair and proper treatment of employees. He maintained that providing a living wage fulfilled this obligation.
Speaking under public comment, Mr Devon Craig explained how he currently earned less than the living wage, but held numerous responsibilities, including training other custodians. He asked Council to recognise the value of all employees and to adopt a Living Wage Policy.
Speaking under public comment, Ms Prue Hyman explained the positive cycle of money and how a living wage benefited the local economy, productivity and cost efficiencies. She maintained that increased productivity had not been matched by increased wages and that Council should adopt the living wage for efficiency and equity reasons.
Speaking under public comment, Mr Neville Hyde, President, Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce, explained that increased services must eventuate from an increase in wages and that wages should be based on the requirements of a job and the performance of the employee. He questioned whether a living wage would produce the desired result, believing wages should not be an arbitrary figure adjusted for relativity. He further explained that Council had a legal requirement to deliver services in the most cost effective way.
Speaking under public comment, Mr Jordan Williams representing the New Zealand Taxpayers Union Inc explained why the Union opposed the living wage. He stated that Council must employ people on merit and questioned whether the living wage helped to alleviate poverty. He suggested there were better methods to achieve this.
Mayor Wallace reminded members that the matter had been robustly debated at length at the Finance and Performance Committee meeting.
Members noted that Council was now seeking independent legal advice on the living wage.
In response to a question from a member, the Chief Executive advised that, as part of the legal advice sought, Council Controlled Organisations would be assessed as to whether the organisations would form part of the draft remuneration and employment policy. He highlighted that it would be reported back to Council.
The motion was taken in parts as follows: |
||||
|
|
Resolved: (BY DIVISION) Minute No. C 17122(3) “That Council agrees in principle to the Living Wage.”
|
|
Resolved: (By Division) Minute No. C 17123(3) “That Council instructs the Chief Executive to produce a draft remuneration and employment policy under the Local Government Act 2002 that addresses paying the living wage to Council employees, for consideration by Council by 1 July 2017.” |
