Eat Drink and Be Crafty Event Cancelled
Due to low number of stallholders wanting to attend the Event this year, the difficulty in providing EFTPOS facilities and the additional compliance costs to meet the COVID “Orange” Traffic Light requirements, the Lions Club of Mana has made the decision to cancel our Eat Drink and Be Crafty Event on 29 January 2022.
We apologise for this and we hope to be back in January 2023.

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.
