Dogs in Kitchener Park, Feilding

Jill from Halcombe

Today one of our Trustees found a professional dog walker allowing her 4 dogs off the lead to defecate in the Makino Stream in Awahuri Forest Kitchener Park. This was in spite of several notices advising that dogs must remain on a lead. One such notice was right in front of her car! She denied any knowledge of knowing this by--law. We hold education programmes for school children around the stream and there are also iwi eel traps in the vicinity. If any one knows who this lady is I would appreciate them advising me. There is a dog park at Manfeild for public use. Awahuri Forest Kitchener Park is a scenic reserve and no-one wants to see dog excrement especially not in the stream where it cannot easily be cleaned up. Thank you Jill Darragh (Chair, AFKP Trust)

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!
