Is there enough police patrolling your area?

Mandy Te Reporter from Manukau Courier

Hi neighbours, shootings have led police to up their patrols. There have been three shootings in Auckland within two months. The latest one was in Ōtara where a man died after being shot and police are still looking for those responsible. A community hui was also held over the weekend to address these problems. Do you think police are doing enough in your neighbourhood?

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!
