also, i kind of agree about the pay arrangements, but that's just a symptom of how cozy the sda is with woolies,

yeah the cuts are pretty bad, we visted a couple of woolies and a couple of coles and there were barely any workers about to annoy and ask to join our union hah

also, went on a visit with the new RAFFWU union to a few nearby stores to gather up some interest. i hope it gets kinda big, the sda really is rubbish

i havent' heard anything about that i haven't even been told to tuck in my shirt for close to a year, although i tuck it in if i see an area manager or higher in the store

yeah the tax is worked out as seperate weeks, or it should be at least it doesn't show that very clear on the payslip tho

nice. what happened? just flex'd up too much or something?

yes and yes we had two people work 7 days in a row because christmas day counts as a day if they're contracted. haha now they get OT pay!

i can only assume it's because of availabilities. if it isn't then there is a problem

budgets are fucked yo i imagine even more than usual based on the amount of recostings we've been needed to do (ironic as all the recostings means i've been getting more office hours to cover for the sso who is too busy recosting everything to do the work that is actually important, so we're...

it is part of the payroll system

unless you have a very understanding line manager or office person,(or if you lie :P ) you won't get paid sick. and you might get annual but again that will need to be organised with line manager. if none of the above, unpaid.

yeah that's how you do it. now it's up to your line manager to approve it in their SF. if it takes a long time probably remind them. if they're as useless as some of our dept managers :P

yeah capping generally means the stuff that is on top of the shelves.

ask people in the office if its arrived

haha it never ends

talk to them when they aren't too busy, something like 'about that roster, i won't agree to it, it's not giving me the right amount of days off in a row according to the agreement, also i think you guys have been changing my roster a bit too frequently. which is also against the agreement.' if...

also have handy "4.5.2 The Company will not frequently vary the employee's roster" i don't know exactly how they would define 'frequent' if you're in the union (you should be if they're messing your roster around like this) then someone there might be able to say whether this applies to your...
