This is my nephew in law and his wife Samantha is my niece through my sister's family. Dave is a photographer for people and teenagers who love skateboards. They were supposed to be with us before Xmas. for us (my partner and I) know they will be on the long road to recovering between 14-24 months. My partner is a survivor from his motorcycle accident and he knows what to feel like. I was a deaf health carer nurse and worked with many young teenagers and people in the hospital for 6-8 months many years ago. The photo below was taken 7 days ago and it is on the website GoFundme.com if you can donate or share with your family and friends.

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.
