I'm a Cleaner

Marama from Manukau - Wiri

I got to work yesterday to find out that we had been moved from the shed that we had all our cleaning products in and trolleys - to a type of boiler room, that's concrete, cold & you can smell the gas outside & we have a whole lot of cleaning products in that room.

On top of that, we don't have a sink to rinse our mops, clean our buckets, etc, it's worse than the space we already had. It's going to be freezing during winter. And our supervisor has only just got back from being sick.

If we want to rinse our mops and clean our buckets, we'll have to use the tap outside the school hall, which is going to be cold enough and a group of us trying to do this, it's not on.

This is going to cause some trouble, I'm already hearing others wanting to do something about it.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
