由惠灵顿市议会委托编写的德洛伊特报告建议裁员330名工作人员, 三年内节省7 900万美元, A Deloitte report commissioned by Wellington City Council recommends cutting up to 330 staff—about 18.5%—to save $79 million over three years, citing inefficiencies like outdated technology and fragmented processes. 公共服务协会(PSA)强烈反对该计划,称报告有缺陷,基于有疑问的基准,忽略了独特的地方责任,如每天为22 000人提供社会住房和服务等。 The Public Service Association (PSA) strongly opposes the plan, calling the report flawed and based on questionable benchmarks that ignore unique local responsibilities such as social housing and services for 22,000 daily commuters. PSA领导人警告说,裁员和未经证明的AI自动化可能会损害图书馆、公园和建筑同意等基本服务,特别是在已经取消58个角色之后。 PSA leaders warn that job cuts and unproven AI automation could harm essential services like libraries, parks, and building consents, especially after 58 roles were already eliminated. 理事会首席执行官马特·普罗塞尔承认调查结果,但强调决定必须与社区需要和民主进程保持一致,不计划立即解雇和持续解雇工作人员和工会参与。 Council chief executive Matt Prosser acknowledges the findings but stresses decisions must align with community needs and democratic processes, with no immediate layoffs planned and ongoing staff and union engagement.
