Join us at 6pm on 8 August at Auckland Trades Hall, for the official Auckland book launch of Power to Win: The Living Wage Movement in Aotearoa New Zealand, written by Lyndy McIntyre.

In Power to Win, McIntyre documents the history of the Living Wage Movement Aotearoa New Zealand from these roots to the present day. This is the story of the movement’s efforts to lift the wages of the most disadvantaged people in our workforce – women, Māori, Pacific Peoples, migrants and refugees, and young workers. McIntyre provides a window into the lives of these workers and those committed to ending in-work poverty: the activists, faith groups, unions and community organisations who come together to tilt the axis of power from employers to low-wage workers.

Power to Win is the record of an extraordinarily successful movement. It is a celebration of hope and an inspiring read. This book shows that communities have power and that change can happen.

This event is being co-hosted by the Living Wage Movement, Fabian Society, Women's Book Shop, and Otago University Press. Please RSVP via the following link:
