Politically they're right of centre. Professionals Australia is the relevant union for IT, don't know them at all, don't know how effective they are.

Mithranderp posted:I am a full time uni student who works casually. I have close to no disposable income so union fees aren't really a thing I can pay at the moment. But the minute I graduate and (dream of dreams) find a full time job, I will definitely join a union. They're are different fees for different types of workers. As a student and a casual you can get a lower fee rate. Depending on your industry say around $3 a week. Ask and you receive. They want people to enter the unions (except the SDA) and they can make it work for you, you just need to rock up and ask. $3 a week is a bus ride, besides making sure you're paid correctly, if the boss man decides to give you the casual the flick, the union can at least force them to got through a process, give you notice, protect from unfair dismissal, etc.

what the gently caress posted:I'm probably equally as guilty as a lot of other members my age. I come and go, my personal life gets well and truly in the way of any consistent union activity so I feel like a oval office. tomkash posted:Yep. A lot of them also have no presence, I think United voice sends me a magazine maybe twice a year and occasionally posts on their Facebook. Plus hospitality staff are bumped to the liquor and hospitality division not UV itself. I also asked them in emails how I can be more involved and that I was and am working with hundreds of exploited workers and they basically ignored that part of my email to give me a one sentence reply to something else. I was really proud to join the union but they haven't given more than a wet fart of a letter to my previous employer who owes me over 10k in unpaid overtime (almost a year now). I guess I should call them and ask how I can be more involved but whenever I have spoken on the phone I have mentioned my interest and it just doesn't seem like they care. -/- Gleefully watching the LNP manage to wedge themselves on such a non-issue[1] as same sex marriage. -/-  It is such a shame that with a profile so high he has been on more front pages than NTATA[2] Bliss Shortly is utterly unable to rub this clown car full of incompetent bufoons faces in their own still warm turds. Nonetheless this is the height of hypocrisy and hastily constructed strawman. Yes Bald Snowman has been given confidential briefings about on water matters. Whether these are comprehensive and explicitly detailed we shall never know. And nor should we. Should Bean Sproutin' reveal the contents of those briefings it would lead to a situation whereby they would have to be refused in future. It's part of the deal. That in no way lets the government off the hook for not adequately informing the Australian Public. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-07-01/border-force-commissioner-operational-matters-roman-quaedvlieg/6586274 The ongoing silence is not a feature of a transparent democratic government and is only serving to protect the government from valid criticism. The drowning haven't stopped. The world faces an unprecedented number of displaced people. http://www.amnesty.org.au/news/comments/37039/ quote:The briefing shows the decision to end the Italian Navy’s humanitarian operation, Mare Nostrum, at the end of 2014, has contributed to a dramatic increase in migrant and refugee deaths at sea. If figures from the latest incidents are confirmed, as many as 1,700 people will have perished this year, 100 times more than in the same period in 2014. We haven't stopped drownings we just exported them. If you throw a bag of rubbish into your neighbour's yard you no longer have rubbish in your yard but you certainly didn't get rid of the rubbish. That is what the 'drownings' claim is, rubbish. As for the boats stopping it's abundantly clear they haven't. And that's without being privy to all these oh so loving secret 'on water' matters. [1] It is an important and significant issue and I whole heartedly support it. It is coming one way or the other. That's why I call it a non-issue. It would go away if the LNP just accepted community opinion. Still if they want to die in a ditch over it... [2] Noted Torture Apologist Tony Abbott.

Anidav posted:Union fees shouldn't exist for students This is why a number of unions, like my own union, the AEU, offer free membership for students who are studying in that field. Unfortunately this doesn't solve the problem that most students have to work part-time to get by, and most part-time jobs which are available to students are covered by the scabbiest of sellout scab unions, the SDA.

The ETU seems to rock the union world, being at the core of things like the anti Workchoices campaign, and anti privatisation of public assets in QLD. They have to drag other industry unions in by force some times. Bit of a specific workforce they draw from though.

BCR posted:Whats your job? Saying the Industry is fine. I've been working as a chef at various pubs in Sydney for the past few years so I'm not sure if they'd be able to cover me. My last job was in catering for a couple of big airlines and banks which it looks like they might cover as it was more food manufacturing. Plenty of problems with that place and how they treat their workers and considering how high profile their clients were you'd think there would be a good case for the workers to be treated a little better. UV was still dragging their feet with my claim at the time though and this is when I asked how I can get more involved and if they had cards/leaflets I could hand to people at work who were interested. So nothing ended up happening and I walked out of the job as I've ended up doing for the job before that as well, they still rake it in and employ at least 50 workers who are all not paid overtime and some workers through an agency which doesn't pay tax, super or penalty rates. Sorry for the rant but it really pissed me off that the union wasn't even interested in a pretty big case like that but hospitality is poo poo everywhere so maybe they're just overstretched. Also thanks Cartoon, I will contact them again today. They were waiting to claim the time sheets from my ex employer and had sent a letter or two but then just seem to have forgotten about it until I contacted them a month or two ago. Then they got the ombudsman to get the time sheets and last I spoke they were working out the amount I was owed from the information. I just felt bad hassling them about my claim because I know it wasn't going to happen instantly but it is pretty poo poo how things have gone down.
