Duane Leo
Duane Leo is the national secretary of the Public Service Association (PSA) in New Zealand, an organization representing public service workers. He has been vocal in advocating for fair working conditions and has criticized recent proposals for significant staff cuts at the Wellington City Council, describing them as 'slash-and-burn cost-cutting.' Leo argues that the report's recommendations lack depth and fail to consider the unique services Wellington provides, such as social housing and city safety programs. His advocacy focuses on ensuring that the needs of public sector employees and the communities they serve are prioritized in local government decisions.
