Northland Youth Theatre is super excited to announce that they have secured funding from Creative New Zealand and sponsorship from Northtec to go ahead with the 2017 Summer Show. The show will be a new work based on the whakatauki ‘Te Whare Tapu o Nga Puhi’. They would like to invite young people in Whangarei to be part of the show.

They have a talented team on board to lead the project, Co-directors Chris Graham and Waimihi Hotere, Movement Director Kelly Nash and Music Director Joby Hopa. Jess Collins, NYT’s manager will be on site for the duration of the rehearsals and accompany the tour as camp mum/support person. We are also gathering a team of cooks and kaumatua and kuia.

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!
