Member Benefits

The ETU Victorian Branch has developed a Member Benefits program in association with numerous suppliers of products and services. Our two major service providers in the program are Where to Enjoy and Union Shopper. This enables members and supporters to take further advantage of the strength that comes with the ETU Membership Card in the form of discounts or improved services. Some suppliers require you to quote a group number, others simply ask for your membership card. Click on the item that interest you and a description will be given on the product or service. Products and services will continue to be added to this page and members should check regularly what is available.

How do I know what I should get paid?

It can be quite complicated in determining this question. First, you have to determine what agreement covers your employment. Next, you then have to interpret the terms in the agreement. If you were a member, you will get the assistance of experienced union officials and the ETU legal department, who answers such questions like this everyday.

My husband is having problems with his employer and thinks he may be sacked. If he joins the Union will they help?

Members get the benefit of the ETU legal department that can represent them on any employment issues – including unfair dismissal. Non-members will have to get their own legal representation which will cost them potentially tens of thousands of dollars.

My son is a second year apprentice and has been working on his own and he does not get paid for overtime, is this okay for an employer to do this?

It is not okay for the Employer to do this. If your son is a member, the ETU has a designated Apprentices Officer who specializes in issues of Apprentices Supervision and Pay and will assist apprentices who are members on these and other relevant issues to the apprenticeship.
