theft of parcels
If you have a parcel stolen do not assume it was taken by a random doorstep thief. it may have been taken by the courier. I was expecting a small parcel. I checked the tracking to find it had been delivered AND signed for by me. First i had NOT signed for it. I checked the property and no sign of it. Considering the claimed delivery time was 7:20am i do not think it was stolen on a quiet street at that hour by a random person passing. More likely taken by the deceitful driver that signed for it. Thank you Post Haste (delivering on behalf of NZ Couriers) for all the hassle and trying to blame it on me when if they did knock and i did not answer the door the could have left a card to call. they even sent the driver back to threaten me not to complain within minutes of calling them about it.
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.
