Fishing for fun

 

There's nothing like reeling in a big fish to sweep away the worries of the world. And they don't come much bigger than the Yellowfin Tuna one shop steward Darren Buttigieg - Mobil Refinery Altona - found on his line. And no, Darren didn't say, 'You should have seen the one that got away' when he described how he snared this little beauty at Bermagui, on the South Coast of NSW. 

The 'little beauty' came it at 80 kilograms and took an hour and fifteen minutes to haul in on a twenty-four kilo line.  And how did it taste, you ask? Well, that question can only be answered by Tony the Taxidermist from Ulladulla!  

In a couple of months the aforesaid tuna will adorn the mantlepiece in Darren's Keilor Park home.

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.
