奥克兰批准了 800 名图书馆工作人员的回溯加薪，在持续的公平问题中增加了收入。 Auckland granted backdated pay rise to 800 library workers, boosting incomes amid ongoing equity concerns.

自9月1日起, 奥克兰议会批准为约800名图书馆工作者提高薪资, Auckland Council has approved a backdated pay rise for about 800 library workers, effective September 1, delivering thousands in additional annual income. 公务员协会欢迎这一举动,认为这是对图书馆工作人员关键作用的承认,尽管该协会强调,这一增长没有达到完全的薪酬公平。 The Public Service Association welcomed the move as recognition of library workers’ vital roles, though it stressed the increase falls short of full pay equity. 国家政府取消了对这些工人的更广泛的同酬要求,并未经协商修正了《同酬法》。 The national government canceled a broader pay equity claim for these workers and amended the Equal Pay Act without consultation. 大多数图书馆工作人员是妇女,从事历史上价值低估的职业,在生活费用不断上涨的情况下管理技术和社区服务。 Most library staff are women in a historically undervalued profession, managing technology and community services amid rising living costs. 公共服务管理局说,如果一个更公平的法律框架回归,它将寻求今后的索赔要求,并敦促其他理事会效仿奥克兰的榜样。 The PSA said it will pursue future claims if a fairer legal framework returns and urged other councils to follow Auckland’s example. 继新西兰其他城市类似的加薪之后,新西兰其他城市的加薪情况也是如此。 This follows similar pay increases in other New Zealand cities.
