The Union Show

 

Brownlow Night at the Hilton


ETU members will be donning the tuxedoes (a suit will do) at the annual ETU – E J. Whitten Brownlow Dinner in aid of prostate cancer research, with the union setting  a target of $50,000.

It was a great night last year and this year will be just as good.

As we've done over the past two years the ETU will be seeking the support of employers. Invitations  can be acquired at the ETU  office.

With the count live on TV and a string of comedians and guest speakers it's always and entertaining evening and a great chance to catch up with friends  

And of course, for a union such as ours the issue of men's health is particularly important.

For more information, contact the union on 8329 0000 or email phil@etu.asn.au

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.
