You are invited to the Pest Free Kaipātiki AGM
We warmly invite all members and supporters to our PFK Annual General Meeting. Please come and celebrate what we have achieved together over this past year!
With the current restrictions in Auckland due to COVID-19, we will be holding it online and we'd love for you to join us!
The formal proceedings will be followed by our guest speaker, Philip Moll, who will be speaking on ‘Defending Safe Habitat - Keeping our Estuaries Safe for Wildlife’ and showcasing images of many of the amazing shorebirds, some resident and others that migrate to our local estuaries, and the challenges we face to keep their habitats protected.
For more information and meeting details, please visit our website or our Facebook event linked here (read more).
Please note - when it is safe to do so, we plan to hold a separate, in-person event, to recognise and celebrate the efforts of our supporters and volunteers. More details will be available when we have them.
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.
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!

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?
There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.
