Outdoor Sofa

Laurie from Orakei

Use this free L shaped outdoor sofa to help you enjoy what's left of the beautiful autumn weather. It is made up of two sofas to use together or separately.
The sofa is built on an aluminum frame with woven waterproof cane, plus foam seat cushions with zip-off covers. Cushions are removable for storage in bad weather and have never been left out in rain.
There is a small break in the cane under the edge of the center cushion. Otherwise, the sofa still has a few good years left. If interested, phone Laurie on 021648959

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!

Bad treatment

Carolyn from Greenlane

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.
