Recoome posted:I'm so conflicted coming into the QLD state election. QLD voters seem to be allergic to supporting an actual left-wing party like the Greens, which are going to be hamstrung by idiots like Rhiannon. I could protest vote against the ALP, but that gives rise to the possibility that some extremely poo poo/dangerous policy is implemented. With all likely we will not have to worry about if the ALP or the LNP will win (Right now they might as well be the same thing as far as Annastacia is concerned) as surely One nation will get all the votes and save us all!

For this it's important to note that everyone means the nsw branch, and the greens are no different from other parties in that the nsw branch is by far the worst and most student politics dominated idiots in the party

I just do neato university student socialism which means I freely associate with a number of left-wing groups. Sometimes that means I'm protesting with the SAlties or the SAllies. You can do what you feel is right, I don't really have any real qualms with some of the established SAlt or SAlliance but the whole newspaper/branding thing is sometimes dialed up to 11 and the SAlties have been banned from Invasion Day marches because of it.

Let me tell you guys about a magical place called the People's Republic of China where bikes are everywhere, no one wears a helmet and if a car hits you, its cheaper for that car to reverse back over you and kill you than to help you get back on your feet.

Hey, you guys know your poo poo about bad employers, wondering if you can help me figure out how legal this is. My partner works at a Target in QLD, A few weeks ago they fired the older supervisors and demoted the younger ones, including her, saying that that position no longer exists in Target QLD. My partner hated being a supervisor and only trained to be one because the store manager pleaded with her, and partially because of the extra cash. Needless to say she wasn't too upset about it. However, on the first day of her demotion she found out she's still expected to do almost all of the tasks, the only exception being the one none of the supervisors disliked (organizing breaks) She asked if other 'retail assistants' would be trained to count registers, access the safe, assist with opening and closing the store, etc and the store manager informed her that "Staff who have been here longer and have more knowledge have more responsibility" or something non-committal but obvious like that. As of yet there hasn't been any talk of training anyone who wasn't a supervisor before the change. Since they're a Target, the only union anyone is with is the SDA, and her co-workers say they're being useless for some reason. (  ) The store manager said he's talked to the regional manager and it's all on the level. So should she even try with the union? Straight to the Fair Work Ombudsman? Or have they found the right combination of magic words to gently caress over their employees? Edit: I completely forgot but one of the ex-supervisors who still works there has a photo of the work phones where the managers are complaining about 'kids these days [having] no work ethic' There's no proof of the context, but it was because, when they tried to make the supervisors only get paid supervisor rates for 2 x 15 minute shifts per day, they told the managers they just won't accept the 'promotion' The union was informed of this plan, but not the text messages.

You normally can't be dropped a pay grade under restructure without being offered redundancy if it's a genuine thing. Unless she's casual then get hosed and stomped into the ground. Also bear in mind the EBA is probably a pile of poo poo that has flexibility and agility built right in.

You'd have to look at the agreement, and it probably has a clause saying something along the line of employees are required to be flexible regarding training and reassignment. Because it's an Sda agreement it's probably allowed but still lovely

Yeah unless theres some substantial change in the duties/pay then it'll probably be an annoying as gently caress legal fight that will cost a fuckload of money AND there is absolutely no guarantee that the SDA will even support you. How amazing is that!?! Like your partner could go to the SDA rep and be like "I'm expected to do X for no extra pay, and they aren't training new staff to do X. Can new staff be trained in these duties too?" but I'd guarantee that nothing will come of it because SDA.txt

Amazingly the only positive stories I've ever heard about the SDA come from people who work at Bunnings, where (at least previously) apparently the SDA got some concessions or something but I haven't seen anything specific recently and my partner even started questioning the SDA rep about what they stand for and it was great :3

If you are unlucky to be in an industry where the SDA is the primary union, you are poo poo out of luck and prepare to be hosed on a whim. It was extremely good to shout at very small amount of SDA peeps who marched on Labour Day because gently caress you for supporting a regressive piece of poo poo organisation which actively campaigns against human rights
