Awesome family dog looking for a new family to love

Catherine from Tauwhare

We have had Gypsy since Christmas 2018 after rescuing her from the vet. She is 4 years old and is a lab crossed with something (maybe retriever). Gyps tends to sleep most of the day, occasionally trotting out for food. She loves children, and is the ideal family hound. We are downsizing and moving back to town, which wouldn't be fair to Gypsy.
We want to find a lovely family who will love Gypsy as much as we and our grandchildren do. Rob can be contacted on 07-824 0839 after 4pm, Cathy can be contacted on 027 5354 721.

What workplace change would you like to see most?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
