Fit, able and willing worker available

Steve from Meadowbank

We have a 27 year old French guy staying with us who is looking for 3 or 4 months full time work. He's a (French) qualified electrician, so is very practical (but cannot work as sparky in NZ).
He's done some great work around our house.
Anyone out there looking for a reliable worker.
He has a vehicle.
Message me on 021621775.
Thank you
Steve

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!
