AgentF posted:Thanks for the links. Not sure if this is the award or not. She's in the hospital now and recovering so I'll try to hold back with questions until she's on her feet again. Make sure shes a paid up member, or you personally pay her dues for her. If she's not a member, sign her up and let her union rep help. Document every time they've hosed her over. Hopefully there is emails or sms messages? If not, get her to do a statuary declaration Having 1) your contract 2) your award 3) documents proving they've hosed her over will make the reps life much easier and justice faster

AgentF posted:Fairly delayed response as we've been waiting for her to get out of hospital before asking too many questions. I'll find out about her membership; the union in question is the Public Service Association, which appears to be the South Australian branch of the CPSU(?). Don't know how good this union is - hopefully they're on the case and working to sort this out. 1) Call the union, or better visit, make sure shes paid up. If not put down a hundred or whatever to make sure shes current. I know thats real money, but having her current is important. The CPSU can be ok. I don't know your reps. You need to make contact with the union at a minimum, to make them aware your fiances mother exists You can't rely on them doing the right thing, if they don't know she exists. 2) I am not a lawyer! She should have a strong case because shes part time which has more rights than a casual, and the contract has been auto renewed for seven years. Past wage slips, rosters, things that prove shes been doing the same hours, the same ish days, over many years will be very helpful. She should have had the oppurtunity to turn permanent or at the very least permanent part time. 3) [b]YOU NEED THOSE EMAILS! If she has a trusted friend at work, get the friend to print those emails. You will need evidence! The emails are important evidence! Everything else is nice, but those emails are the important main event. Too easy, remember the ACTU and all can help offer better, more specific advice.

AgentF posted:An update on this. I've read correspondence betweeen the union and the employer and it looks like they are right on the case, specifically mentioning the fiance's mum as well as two other employees who are in the same situation, and insisting that they be instated as permanent. The language is very firm and legalese and indicates to me that they know what they're doing, which makes me happy. Fiance's mum looked through her work e-mails and hasn't found any that discuss permanency at all, as I suspected the promises of permanency were only ever made verbally. She is certain these conversations happened and is willing to sign a stat dec to this effect. She's surrounded by very supportive workmates and has a good case, so hopefully she will come out of this with her job, but either way I am happy that as much as possible is being done. Glad to hear it, it sounds good. The last thing I can think of is have the union or union rep or union lawyer spoken face to face or on the phone with your mum? It helps reassure people and be a comfort if they can put a face to a name doing the things. Thanks for the thought with the money, please donate it to Medecins Sans Frontieres
