G'Day all, I have recently been bombarded with mail from all and sundry about the upcoming ballot. Frankly i am a bit pissed off with the content of the mailouts. Why the fuck are we slagging off at each other when it is employers and government anti worker policies that should be in our sights. Instead of telling me why i shouldn't vote for a candidate how about telling me why i should vote for you. What are you going to do for me and my co-workers? How exactly are you going to improve my lot in life?. So forget about who did what and when and start acting for you members instead of yourself.. Paul Blight Roll No 3147684

Im fed up with the political manipulation in government and now its filtered into our Union. Which one of you blokes will stand tall, clear cut and with an attitude to do right by the workers. Your my man and you'll have my vote.

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.
