Looking for a place to rent long term
Hi, my name is Geoff and I'm looking for a 1-2 bedroom place to rent long term. Wish list would be rural, and with garage, but will consider anything, provided the rent is reasonable. I'm a very good tenant, fairly solitary, responsible, have secure employment, will look after the place, don't have any pets, no loud parties, no rough friends. Please phone me on 022 0267441 if you have something suitable. Many thanks, Geoff

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
