Petition: Public sector pay cut for COVID-19 relief
A temporary salary reduction for politicians and the highest-paid public sector staff would be a prudent and compassionate response to current pressures facing households and businesses.
On average, public sector workers are paid around a third more than the private sector. They also have the luxury of far higher job security. A 20 percent pay cut would be a small sacrifice in these extraordinary times when so many New Zealanders are losing their jobs.
I call on politicians, senior bureaucrats, and local council leadership to take a 20 percent pay cut in light of the COVID-19 crisis.
