Good Morning
docs.google.com...
We have been planning the Spring into Tawa event since February this year and although at this stage (under COVID-level 2), we are not certain it can still go ahead, we are certain that if it does, we will need volunteers to help us on the day, which is Saturday 30th October
If you are available can you please access the link above and complete the web form. If you have any friends or contacts that you think would be available feel free to pass this message onto them also.
We will be making our final decision on 2nd October, as to whether the event will go ahead, so will make further contact with you after that. Thanks for your assistance in the past and hopefully in the future
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!
