New Local broadband service that is Canterbury owned and operated.

Bryce from Kaiapoi

New broadband provider that is Canterbury owned and operated.
Have just transferred to this new broadband supplier operating here in Kaiapoi. Can use ADSL, VDSL and fibre and has unlimited data. Even better is that the help desk, if needed is also local.

The price I got was very competitive and I am also looking at transferring my home phone account over to them as well as they offer this service.
Have a look at their offer at www.techmedics.co.nz...

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!
