Desal Plant Accommodation

Bass Coast Shire Council has launched a website listing rental properties available exclusively to desalination project employees.

Properties range in price and size with a choice of furnished or unfurnished accommodation. Many are normally holiday rentals. 

According to the Council, all properties listed on the site meet the aims of the Victorian Desalination Project Housing Accord. The Accord has been developed by the Council and local real estate agents with the aim of "managing the housing needs of the project workforce while minimising impacts on the local rental supply and tourism markets."

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.
