During an Invercargill City Council meeting, Anna Huffstutler, a member of the Bluff Living Wage group, asked the council to follow the examples of Dunedin and Wellington City Council. The living wage rate is voluntary and is now $22.10 per hour. Cr Graham Lewis referred to the living wage campaign in Bluff last year and asked about its impact. "We have other employers in Bluff who also pay their workers the living wage."
