Auckland Protest - NO 5G roll-out without adequate safety testing

Michael from Bayview

Dear fellow residents of Bayview and surrounding areas,

If you are against the roll-out of 5G without adequate research on health effects, please support the Auckland Protest tomorrow (Saturday January 25). We are meeting at 12 noon at the corner of Queen Street and Wakefield Streets in Auckland CBD, close to Aotea Square. There will be speeches, a singer/guitarist, artwork against 5G, banners and a march down Queen Street to the Viaduct.

This Auckland Protest is one of many Protests around New Zealand including Kaitaia, Whangarei, Mangawhai, Wellington, Gisborne, Christchurch, Nelson and Invercargill. Details of Protests around NZ can be found at this link: www.5g.org.nz...

The New Zealand National Day of Protest against 5G is part of the January 25 Global Day of Protest involving over 30 countries around the world.

Wondering what all the fuss is about? 5G is very different from existing 3G, 4G and wi-fi and involves higher frequency radiation. This higher frequency radiation will be beam-forming (laser-like) and will be absorbed by the skin and the eyes. The skin is not just an overcoat - it is an organ with many functions, including regulation of the immune system. Research on health effects of this type of radiation is almost non-existent. The Ministry of Health and Telcos are saying that research on existing systems (such as 3G. 4G and w-fi) can be applied to 5G. However, this is a totally unscientific assumption because the characteristics of the 5G radiation are very different from existing 3G, 4G and wi-fi.

Rolling out 5G technology that has not been adequately tested for safety is the height of irresponsibility - hence the Protests. Health must come before Profits.

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!
