Thank you
I would like to say THANK YOU to all the people that worked behind the scenes during lockdown. Yes, we thanked the doctors, nurses, police, emergency departments, chemists, and other frontline people. I appreciate what they have done for us and they have my sincere thanks.
I just feel there are a group of people that do not get any recognition such as the rubbish and recyclable collectors that continued to "clean up" our rubbish.
I am sure there are so many people we do not know about such as administration jobs behind the scenes to make sure it all worked smoothly.
If I have not mentioned any group, please let us all know so they can also get to be acknowledged for their generous contribution in keeping us safe.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME AND MY DEAREST ONES

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!
