ETU says no to violence against women

Hardly a week passes without a story about violence inflicted on a woman by a partner or estranged partner. in fact, according to the White Ribbon Foundation '1 in 3 Australian women report experiencing at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 15'. The ETU has put its name to the campaign to end the violence against women. The Not 1 More  event at Federation Square on Friday November 27 – as part of the White Ribbon campaign -  will remember women and children who have been killed as a result of family violence. The ETU is one of a number of unions sponsoring the day.  MC for the event will be Phil Cleary, with speakers – starting at 6 pm - including TV host Andrew O’Keefe.

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.
