Today we’re bringing the retail industry together for a third time to tackle appalling, unacceptable abusive and violent customer behaviour. This issue requires an ongoing, collaborative and consistent approach across the industry to protect workers. afr.com/work-and-caree…

It is shocking that two-thirds of our members working in retail are suffering abuse from customers, with far too many experiencing threats and violence #Respect4Shopworkers usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/…

While Jeff Bezos sits atop his billions, Amazon workers are suffering. Amazon workers are being undercut by loopholes that drive down their wages and conditions. Our 'Closing Loopholes' Bill fixes that.

More leave for staff in the new Big W Agreement ✅ Time off to spend with family and friends is incredibly valuable to our members. Additional leave secured at IKEA, Bunnings & Apple this year too - we think other major companies should follow suit. afr.com/work-and-caree…

Super on paid parental leave is a huge step towards achieving gender equality, reducing the gender pay gap & will make a genuine difference. The SDA has campaigned for this for many years alongside other unions and we’re proud to see this change for the better become a reality.

Big news for young workers today ! The SDA is filing our application in the Fair Work Commission to remove junior rates for 18 & 19 year old workers in retail, fast food & pharmacy. Our message is clear: if you’re of adult age you should be paid an adult wage.

We’ve officially passed new laws that can give police the power to scan people for knives in crowded areas like shopping centres and train stations.

ANZAC Day is the only Public Holiday with half-day trading restrictions. So we're changing that. It means veterans and their families can commemorate the day without having to run off to work at 1PM. It just makes sense.
