Stepping Into The Future...

In New Zealand The Warehouse decided to create New Zealand's first ever online shopping mall. A lot of people who now know about this are very excited to have our first online shopping mall. The new website that we are looking forward to costs $12 million New Zealand dollars to build which is a lot.

I think its a good idea that The Warehouse decided to put up an online shop because sometimes people are very tired to go and pick up their own shopping and actually buy the shopping. There are 9% of New Zealanders who buy online, 14% in America, 18% in UK and more than 20% in China.

VTNZ Demanding For More Pay?

VTNZ are complaining because they want more pay. They are currently getting paid $22.50 an hour but the workers say its not the price they should get paid. Workers of VTNZ are speaking out saying the they love their job but at times it's risky and dangerous but the cars always come out perfectly!

They said they only want a fair increase, they have to deal with people who come out of jail and they sometimes get chased around the cars which ends up having the police involved.  I think they should get an increased pay after the way people are treating the workers!
