Should fast-food chains ditch plastic straws?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

What do you think of this campaign? Hamilton high school students Chelsea West, Haydee Anson and Abbey Huriwai are publicly challenging McDonald's to ditch plastic straws nationwide. Although the fast-food giant has a couple of small initiatives on straw use, it seems to have no intention of expanding that initiative any time soon.

What do you think of the challenge? Should fast-food places ditch plastic straws? Do you think a straw on request policy would work in NZ? Let us know in the replies! (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff.)

With winter bugs doing the rounds, it’s worth knowing what the rules are about sick leave. So what are you entitled to?

• In general you’re entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave each year after you’ve worked for your employer for 6 months.
• You can accumulate any unused sick leave up to a total of 20 days.
• Sick leave can be used when you’re sick or when you need to be off work to look after someone else who is sick or injured (your partner, child, or someone who relies on you for care).
• Even if you’re a part-time or casual worker, you’re still entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave a year (once you’ve worked for 6 months continuously or for an average of 10 hours per week, and at least one hour in every week or 40 hours in every month).
• Your employer can require you to provide a medical certificate if you’re sick for 3 or more days in a row, and you’ll need to pay to get it. If they want proof of sickness sooner then they will have to pay the costs of getting the proof.

These are the minimum sick leave entitlements. Your employer can agree to give you more.

Check out our website for more information about sick leave and other employment rights and responsibilities. If you’ve got questions get in touch with a CAB near you, call us on 0800 367 222 (0800 FOR CAB), or contact us online.
