Have you seen this man? There are concerns for his safety!!!!

Annette Lambly-Robinson Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Whangarei Police remain very concerned for the safety of Kevin Charles Stewart, and are asking coastal residents and property owners to check around them for anything unusual.

The 55-year-old left a cabin he lives in near central Whangarei some time during the night of December 7/8.

He has not made contact with friends or family since he was last seen late in the evening on December 7.

Mr Stewart is of slim build and approximately 169cm tall, with grey hair and brown eyes.

He may have made his way to east coast beaches near Whangarei, so Police ask property and bach owners to please check your dwellings and shed or garages for any unusual signs or activity.

If you live in coastal settlements near Whangarei, please also check any neighbouring empty properties.

Anyone who has seen Mr Stewart or has any information that may help Police find him, is asked to contact Senior Sergeant Steve Dickson on (09) 430 4542.

Urgent information can be phoned in to 111.

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!
