Calls are being made for public sector workers to return to the workplace, in a bid to boost Wellington's economy. Commuter numbers and spending in the capital is down by a third. CEO of Wellington's Chamber of Commerce John Milford tells Lynn Freeman the pandemic has been a hand break to the capital's economy and more commercial activity is needed. But the union representing workers in the public sector, the PSA, says workers shouldn't be under pressure to return to the office and safety should come first. PSA National Secretary Glen Barclay and Chief Executive of Retail NZ Greg Harford also join.
