From pay negotiation to legal advice and representation, the benefits of being a member of the SDA are huge. We make sure you know your rights at work and are on hand to help if something goes wrong. We are your voice at work. And the more members we have, the more we can achieve.

Simply select the Join Now button  on this page or speak to your delegate or SDA organizer. It's that simple.

It is important to fully understand your rights in the workplace. We can provide advice on your rights  including:

• Rosters
• Sick leave

Part-time, full-time and casual employment arrangements can be confusing. That’s just how things are in the retail and fast food industry. That’s why it’s so important to know where you stand.
