Wage Freezes in the Public Sector w/ Dr Geoff Plimmer; May 21, 2021

The government has recently announced a wage freeze on many public sector workers, provoking public outrage. While Labour says the freeze is to free up money for lower paid workers, critics argue the move will disincentivise workers from staying in the New Zealand public sector. Noah Ferguson-Dudding spoke to Dr Geoff Plimmer from Victoria University of Wellington about what the freeze means for workers, and why it led to such a public outcry.
