I'm not certain, but I believe that the Greens don't take organizational donations. My boss can make an individual donation to the Greens, but he couldn't make one on behalf of our whole company. I don't know how unions work with it, but I think it's the same thing, although there's other ways they can show support.

And it's not like the Greens are facing bidding wars like that anyway.

That's right. At least in Queensland and I presume nationally the Greens don't take donations other than from individuals.

EvilElmo posted:

Don't see anything like that in their donations policy, but happy to be corrected. I'm pretty sure the Greens are mostly bankrolled by the ETU in some states.


I loving wish, that kind of money could buy seconds of airtime on local radio. The price of coherent ethics.

mate, you are being ripped off. You are doing call centre work right? Your work is being dictated by your employer, equipment provided by them, you bear no financial risk (for slow/missed work), and are paid fortnightly/monthly? Then you are an employee. If they are paying you below award, then it's likely a sham anyway. Don't work for them unless you're desperate for work. In that case, keep a very detailed record of your pay stubs, and employment contract so that you can report them to the Fair Work Commission once you get a better job.

Yeah that's all the case, there's a commission based pay structure on top of an (insultingly small) daily base rate but no penalty provision for slow work. I have not yet seen the employment contract but I just requested a copy. There doesn't seem to be any super, which I'm 100% certain is illegal.

It's like something out of that terrible Salvation War story that floats around the net.
