Something to go to in Auckland

SuperSizeMyPay will be holding a public rally in support of low paid workers.

Fast food and other low paid workers will be giving first hand accounts of the effects of poverty-wages, age-based pay discrimination and insecure hours. There will be community speakers talking about the effects on the broader community as well as bands and comedians between speakers.

The aim is to build a broad-based campaign for a higher minimum wage and an end to youth rates now. It will also be a show of public support for Sue Bradford's Minimum Wage (Abolition of Age Discrimination) Amendment Bill, which will have its first reading on the 15th of February.

If you're interested, the rally is on Sunday, February 12th, at the Auckland Town Hall, Queen Street.
