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!
Keyboard
Hi Neighbors, is there anyone selling a cheap keyboard? I'm happy to find one for myself 😊
Bad treatment
I go around with the feeling I have a bullseye on my back. This year I have been physically attacked by 3 people. None of which I was facing . Photographs taken by management. Verbally abused on many occasions. When I go into the common room I take my phone. Have rung the police. Phone always taken off me by management.i want to be safe.
