Sharon from Te Atatu South

The cushions are $10 each. They are made from recycled clothing fabric and a size 20 Spotlight cushion inner, that's 47cm by 46cm by about 22cm thick at the thickest part. Nice and big and comfortable to lean on in your favourite armchair. =D

The pillows are 60cm x 27cm, and are also $10 each. They are nice and comfy and springy to lean against. =D The fourth photo shows a closeup of the fabric designs. =D

The truck window shades are also $10 each. They are in as new condition - not used. Each one is 174cm long (when fully stretched out) x 82.5cm high - or 69cm high without the detachable (by velcro) upper parts. Bought off Super Cheap Auto on TradeMe but ended up not needing them (was intending to use them in a greenhouse to reflect light, but not cold enough for that up here).

Tote bags are $10 each, and are made from upholstery fabric offcuts. They are 52cm long x 45cm high (brown tote bag with white cotton cord handles), 47cm long x 43cm high (orange tote bag with industrial brown tie-down strap handles), 47cm x 43cm (orange with black synthetic cord handles), 46cm long x 41cm high (orange with white cotton cord handles), and 43.5cm long x 39cm high (orange with black and orange handles).

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!
