Speaking of work, I'm actually looking for some. If you guys and girls know any contacts for work that might be suitable for someone with a Masters in Teaching, throw me a PM. I'm going through Seek and the other channels, too, but it doesn't hurt to get more hooks out there!

The only thing you'll need is a hi vis vest, steel toe cap boots. Pays about $21hr casual. And of course you want to be a union member http://www.nuw.org.au/ Beyond that you're literally loading and unloading shipping containers.

Go along, get the data admin job or whatever and give a weeks notice before you quit. Since you're a casual its legal, and you're giving notice rather than just dropping them in it. Theres not much they can do about it. Know what your award is, and double check everything with the ACTU http://www.actu.org.au/HelpDesk/default.aspx Bevchain would take you for that long. They always need people to unload / load containers and they'e not going to cry or care if you're only there for 6 weeks. Again don't tell them and give a weeks notice then carry on with your life. Since your students you're going to have a year gap at least before you work again and its not going to matter a big deal beyond being able to say i worked in the summer. Action workforce have a lot of the logistics work and they're not that fussed about how long you stay.

Things to watch for in the next financial year from the government as it prepares for the next Budget: IR legislation changes (Minimum wage stops people getting jorbs!) Selling off the HECS/HELP debt, privitising the system and any legislative changes that would be needed to pave the way for such Extending the six month waiting period for Newstart to over 30 year olds (you're old enough to have saved money, blah blah blah) Special economic zones for the far north regions of Australia (Gotta get Gina her slave labour force)

Speaking of industrial relations, today at work when I asked why I was getting paid >$2 per hour less than a guy with less experience and qualifications as me for the exact same job I was told it was unreasonable for me to expect equal pay for equal work. Oh and that my lower pay rate had nothing to do with my gender and it's all just a massive coincidence the guys get paid more for the same job. Sounds like I need to find a new job! gently caress I hate IT.

open24hours posted:It's a tragedy and all that but I do wonder if they have a case for that particular incident. Is there any evidence the government ignored the boat until it was too late or did anything else that would constitute a breach of their duty of care? The case is based on a number of specific issues. http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/breakfast/government-being-sued-over-asylum-boat-crash/5528434 The audio can flesh this out some more. Firstly: They will contend that even if the Australian SARS team had no knowledge of the boat, they should have. This is probably the weak part of the case and without establishing this the rest goes out the window. The 'should have known' is however a very broad criteria and would need to be stomped on pretty hard by the other party. There's probably a decent amount of mileage in alleging that some other arm of government knew but failed to pass it on. The establishment of a duty of care is partly predicated on the confiscation and assertion of mastery over vessels entering our twelve mile zone. It technically makes those vessels our vessels and then places their seaworthiness in our hands. The chain of reason goes that if we are going to immediately assert a right to navigate and dispose of the vessels upon sighting them then we are de facto owners by our own actions. Secondly: They will contend that the SAR capabilities at Christmas Island at the time were substandard. They have a very strong case here. If they can establish the first contention they can use the dismal condition of the SAR assets at Christmas Island at the time to make a claim of breach of duty of care. Although it seems, at first gloss to belittle the actions of the people on the ground on the day, I think it highlights the key and central issue of the whole asylum seeker issue. That issue is the dehumanising of the asylum seekers. The case is highlighting that, although it was a known and current circumstance, little was done to improve the detection capabilities at Christmas Island and despite it being well known that navigation in the area around the island is treacherous in all weathers nothing was done to ensure an adequate response was available. It is hard not to conclude that the deaths of these people was an expected, or even welcome, outcome.

Oh and that my lower pay rate had nothing to do with my gender and it's all just a massive coincidence the guys get paid more for the same job. 1) If you're a permanent, take a copy of your contract and pay slips, grab a male coworkers contract and payslip (hopefully some are normal and friendly) and approach fairwork Australia. Document who you saw at what time to discuss your pay, and get it witnessed by a Jp. Then let fairwork australia investigate. 2) if you're a casual, contract anything else, ring up the actu helpline and find out what union is best for you. Join the union, and wait for full services to kick in. Present your documentation to the union. Union lawyers will fight against this sexual discrimination for you and you're protected in the work place. You are going to need a male coworkers documents to make it all go quicker.

My meeting with the manager of my department yesterday indicated that yes, they know of the discrepancy but they assure me it has nothing to do with my gender and is a mixture of my male coworker being hired on some form of new contract and my department and another department being merged. I will be contacting HR today to see what they have to say, although I believe my manager has already called them to poison the well.

Zenithe posted:Have to keep pinching myself. Is the lynch-pin of every debated piece of legislation really going to be held by Glen Lazarus, Jaqui Lambie and Ricky Muir? I've been looking over this stuff a lot recently for the thread and the answer is "kind of". I'm working on the assumption that Labor, Greens and hopefully Xenophon will block things together putting them at thirty six and the Coalition, Jesus, and John Galt will work together putting them at thirty five. Madigan will probably side with Coalition for social issues, while siding with the opposition for economic ones. In Palmer's camp, you've got a guaranteed always going to be there minimum two senators in Wang and Lazarus because they have nothing to gain from going rogue. Muir will depend on whether AMEP try to unburn the bridge, and Lambie is just totally insane and will probably do whatever she wants once Palmer tells her to vote for something she doesn't want to. Of the two, Lambie is the one I expect to go rogue the most. What's important to note though is that if Palmer loses both of them he no longer inherently holds a balance of power, since at the point where he has four senators, Xenophon and Madigan become irrelevant since he can push it to thirty nine. Lose Lambie and he needs one of those two to go with the option he actually wants. Lose Muir too and the balance of power is essentially shifted to the four lone senators.

Anidav posted:Should I go to the interview to simply ask the aware or base wage? Don't bother, it's just a variant of an MLM scam From their website: quote:Trew Marketing's ultimate goal is to provide our people the opportunity for complete financial freedom and financial independence to enable them to enjoy the best quality of life possible. This is delivered through a committed and ongoing training and support network which enables successful applicants to develop essential skills, self confidence and the ability to train others at their own pace. That's all classic MLM-speak. "financial independence" means you're not really employed with them and that they won't actually pay you. "support network" and "train others" means you're expected to bring in other suckers to the scam. If you do go along, they're won't really interview you, they offer everyone who appears young and easy to manipulate a position as an "independent contractor" which coincidentally means that you aren't technically employed by them and don't get paid a minimum wage. It's even better if they tell you that you can "start your own franchise" which is the same as above except it also means that you need to pay them for the pleasure of working there. They'll give you a bunch of bullshit about how great it is to "be your own boss" and how exciting it is to deal with all these glamourous sports teams (there'll even be a bunch of photos of the boss with broncos players scattered around the office to try to impress you) and if they get the slightest hint that you're not taking the bait they'll kick you out and bring in the next sucker. e: or you could just read this which explains an even worse possibility: http://jobsearch.about.com/od/entryleveljobs/a/entrylevelscam.htm Contra Duck fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Jun 17, 2014 |

I was offered a job like this when I was getting out of college, selling kitchenware. I was going to be basically expected to shill to my friends and family. A. This wouldn't work if the gear was poo poo, my mother and grandmother were caterers for decades, they know good kitchenware and have all they need. B. It's an incredibly, UNBELIEVABLY sleazy way to operate. Don't take a job like this, dude. Do not. Get a freakin' coffee shop job or something, anything else. You want a steady wage. You should DEMAND it.
