Safety in Showering Bath Extender for Sale

Marylou from Melville

Have you family members who, although able to cope by themselves, have some difficulty showering over a bath though not needing assistance?
Altering a bathroom to accommodate a walk-in shower, as we now have done, is a costly business and the area may not be suitable. We purchased this bath extender with the idea of replacing our upstairs spa bath but the contour of the bath base was not suitable. Of course,
we had to construct it to find that out!
I used one of these in our downstairs normal bath after I had broken my hip in an outside accident. It was invaluable. I felt extremely safe showering by myself and I am an octogenarian.
I am asking $100. I paid $139 and a very similar one at a large store is $199. There is a 15-year guarantee. The back can be removed, if necessary, for transporting.
Please phone me on 843 4421 or message me. Thanks.

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!
