The history of the living wage

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm today

Lyndy McInyre has dedicated her life to fighting for the rights of low wage workers. 

A long-time community organiser, in 2011 she was a part of a social movement to address "in-work poverty", workers who were struggling to get by on very low wages.

In her new book 'Power to Win' she documents the history of the living wage movement in New Zealand and says that this story is important "now, more than ever".
