FREE COMMUNITY RADIO STATION - Positively Whangarei
British entertainer and broadcaster Noel Edmonds now lives in New Zealand and graciously set up 100 radio stations in New Zealand and gifted them to communities.
Positively Whangarei is one of those stations. We’re a part of the Positivity Radio New Zealand network of stations. This YOUR community radio station. While we have no commercial advertising or news bulletins as such, we’re totally focused on local community content, promoting our town and unique history under the mountain of love and promoting local businesses through “buy local” campaigns. If you’re a community organisation, a charity, school, sports club, business or tourism promotion organisation then we want to get you and what you do on-air.

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.
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!
