When I first started at Woolies, I knew I needed to join a union after working at maccas for 8 years without one. I sign up to the SDA because I've heard of them and thought they'd do right by me. Since reading a lot of posts here, it looks like I've made a mistake. The issue now is that the SDA make it extremely hard to leave. Is there an easy way to tell them I don't want them anymore so I can sign up with RAFFWU?
It isn’t so much the government as it the fair work commission. The workers also could’ve been bargaining reps in this case and didn’t exercise that right. RAFFWU could become a registered org but for reasons known to Josh he hasn’t gone down that route.
Interesting - do you have any links to his explanation? I’d be keen to read them.
It’s a shame that RAFFWU don’t publish their financials, nor the arrangements they pay as funding commissions for the class actions they’re taking. Then it would be easier to understand their explanations.
This isn’t true - there are many unions that overlap. Thats why demarcation issues are fought out so often.
Ironically they are a union and RAFFWU aren’t and from what I understand they don’t partner with other unions either…. They’re effective where they intervene but are largely driven by class actions off the back of it

Ehhhhhh if you’re familiar with history of RAFFWU there’s plenty of reasons he (and his financial backers) may not be entirely on board with registration.
Not my clowns not my circus - just don’t drink the koolaid without question.
