Hi everyone, Matthew here. Happy New Year 2019. Sorry haven't posted anything for a while now.
Anyways I just to know what people think or what advise I should get about keeping my current job but asking the boss in charge about getting a fair pay for delivering newspapers and circulars in my local area in West Auckland.
I have worked for a newspaper company under 2 different name changes. First it was Stuff Limited, then was called PMP Limited now called OVATO.
Now to cut the chase, I receive about $3.10 per 100 papers (well two areas I receive this amount so it will roughly say $6.20 per 100 papers and the other run I do is roughly that first amount shown as above).
This is what I get more or less delivering the Western Leader. The Thursdays paper is much more bulkier because of the real estate magazine insert. I do a larger area in West Auckland NZ and roughly deliver 1400+ papers to three areas each week.
Now in saying here in NZ, the minimum wage will go up to $17.70 per hour this March or April this year I believe and the cost of living going up as well. Now saying all of this, does anyone think this is fair that I am earning a very low wage at the newspaper company I am working with with the amount of papers I am delivering each week? What do people think about that? Am I getting a fair deal or does anyone think that the newspaper company is doing something illegal and not paying its fair share to all people who deliver the newspapers and circulars?
PS. With the circulars that I as do, I receive $2 per 100 leaflets which I also deliver in my local area here in West Auckland. Does anyone have ideas what I should do to get a fair pay agreement with the newspaper company I work with?

Wave e-scooters launch in Auckland

E-scooter operator Wave will launch its service on 13 March.
Wave, which was granted a licence to operate e-scooters in December 2018, is another participant in Auckland Council and Auckland Transport’s shared e-scooter service trial, which ends on 31 March.
Wave is licensed to operate up to 500 scooters in the city centre and surrounding areas until the end of March.
Auckland Transport Chief Executive Shane Ellison says Wave will be trialling speed-limited areas.
“Wave will be restricting its scooters to 15km/h on Queen Street, and in the Wynyard Quarter and Viaduct Basin areas.
“This is a good opportunity for us to test slower speeds in areas with lots of people walking,” he says.
“Wave has also assured us that its model of scooter, which is used in other countries, has had no reports of brakes locking, or any other known issues. It has also provided assurance that it will recall its fleet immediately if any malfunctions occur until these issues are addressed.”
Wave’s e-scooters are licensed to operate between 5 am and 1am each day.
Auckland Council’s Chief Operating Officer Dean Kimpton says Auckland Council and Auckland Transport will continue to work closely with Wave throughout the trial.
“Having a second operator as part of the trial will give us the opportunity to see how different operators work and help us to inform any future decisions from the trial.
“Wave has committed to working very closely with us throughout March and you can expect to see its ambassadors on the streets throughout the trial.
“Wave’s licence and the council and AT’s expectations around its operation are consistent with the conditions applied to Lime, including adherence to the code of practice,” says Mr Kimpton.
Wave Tier 1 (inner city) mobile trading licence.
Wave Tier 2 (outer city) mobile trading licence.
About the Wave licence
Why is the council granting Wave a licence now?
Wave was granted a licence in December 2018 and it is now ready to participate in the remainder of the trial. Initially, we had three participants in the trial. One of the operators has chosen not to participate, and Lime has been participating since late last year.
What about safety?
Wave is committed to providing a safe experience for its customers. It is trialling 15km/h slow speed areas on Queen Street, Wynyard Quarter and the Viaduct Basin through its app, and will slow riders to the appropriate speed on entering these zones. The e-scooters have a top speed of 25km/h.
There will be a ‘three strikes’ policy for riders breaching the terms and conditions of the service. Wave will also host pop-up events, run an ambassador programme, and run a ‘safe rider of the month’ award for helmet use and safe riding.
What if there are issues with the scooters?
Wave has committed to voluntarily removing its fleet for any serious issue, until the issue is addressed. The model of scooters Wave is introducing has been used in other countries, under a different name, with no issue to date.
Each e-scooter will have a maintenance check each day when they are collected overnight for charging.
Will you be collecting data?
As part of the code of practice, Auckland Council and Auckland Transport requires access to usage and incident data.
