Lovely pussycat looking for kind home....deceased owner
Rainbow was a Rescue cat purchased by my mum in Auckland in 2011 so is getting old. She is a lovely gentle cat but would prefer to go to a calm home without other pets as she was shy (she was OK with two other cats and chooks so one other is fine) but recently, she has become a lot more friendly and she will make great company for someone who'll love her. We do not want to have to put her down but if a home cannot be found, that's her future. Do you know anyone who would like her, please? SPCA and Cat rescue say they don't want her. She is not the sort that gets under your feet so would suit an older person! She'll make a great companion. The photo shows her caught unawares....she's not wild! Please share this so we can get her a new loving home. Thanks. You can call or text me on 0221060310
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.
