TVNZ

Maria from Kelston

Why is it that TVNZ can't cater for the elderly during this lockdown .They could have shown a religious movie over Easter which is such a huge thing for them. They were unable to go to Church which was mindblowing for a lot of them . They say the oldies are the most vulnerable and to stay at home.A lot of the elderly don't have smart phones, computers etc and their lifeline is TV as is with my mother who i can't see at the moment. There is so many classic movies they could play for them instead of the repeats and crap they keep playing. Give them a couple of hours in the morning or evening dedicated to them. There is so many of them out there on their own, or is it with TVNZ FRANKLY MY DEAR I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

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.
