It doesn't make a difference if you join or not in regards with a new EBA but if you personally have an issue in the future and are with the union then you will be able to get there help because you are member.

For a nationwide company in Australia it might be different, but I never joined the union and I still got what everyone else did and everyone who was with the union complained that they were useless.

Wait until you see what they do in the US when someone even posts the word "Union" on social media.

What is the go with Unions ? I'm being pressured to join so we can be negotiated onto a new EBA. Can I just join for like 2months then leave ?

I have no idea how it works and to be honest can't be ****ed

Only those in the union can attend EBA meetings and vote on whether to accept it

Everyone’s receives the same benefits

Yes you can join and then leave once the EBA is sorted

I worked for a nationwide company for 10 years and always got a vote and was allowed to sit in on meetings during work hours. I never joined the union.

Maybe it's different when it's a small company dealing with the union.

I'm not sure I want to see hehe!

Fairly happy to live in a country where I've never felt the need to join a union.

Although making a threat to go to the union did seem to make some managers and bosses sit up straight.

At U.S. Olympic swim trials, Chinese doping and Australian stars loom over American speed

Swimmers like to focus on things they control, but two things will be out of their control in Paris: A Chinese doping scandal and the lightning-quick Australians.

us.yahoo.com

Very interesting that the US swimmers are keeping an eye on the Aussies.

Several Americans have been faster than ever before here at U.S. trials — but some not quite as fast as their Australian counterparts.

Regan Smith, for example, set an American record in her 100-meter backstroke semifinal Monday night, finishing in 57.47 seconds. But she was still 0.14 seconds off Australian Kaylee McKeown’s world record, and 0.06 slower than McKeown’s winning time last week at Aussie trials.

Smith, on Monday, was asked about chasing McKeown’s record. “It’s just all about details,” she said. “And Kaylee’s wonderful at just executing everything perfectly.”

Cmon, why dont you yanks throw some druggies barbs at the aussies?

What are people's experiences with receiving a payout from an insurer after a write off? Did you manage to get more out of them? Did you accept a replacement vehicle?

How did you demonstrate you were entitled to more money? Car sales? Dealership quotes?

What do people think about buying a property (2 bedroom apartment) where the bedrooms have no windows and no natural light source? Is it an instant do not buy? I don’t even know these things existed - the price is great but I’m assuming this is why.

I think that would drive me nuts but it might suit the right person.

Did you know that in Perth you can donate your poo so they can extract the good gut bacteria and give it to people who have gut problems. Found this out on my blood donor app, couldn’t believe it .

And why oh why has Albo decided it would be a good idea to use Scummo as a "special envoy" to the US if Trump wins the election?

Can anyone recommend some frozen beef burger patties that are literally beef and salt and nothing else?
All the ones i see at supermarkets are full of crap and i can get some from my butcher but was hoping for a few dollars cheaper per unit if they were frozen/mass produced.
But if not possible all cool, butcher it is.

And yeh i may just get 80:20 mix as i have somewhere stored a burger press.

I just make my own as I need them because it's soooo easy. I just go for straight mince meat and use a small amount of seasoning.

As freogirl said it’s probably easiest to make your own. Buy a big batch of mince and add the flavour you want.

Do that, sprinkle with salt just before you chuck them on, that's about all you need. I put pepper on as well but after I fry them, I reckon the pepper can burn during cooking and it stops the burger for having proper contact with the pan.

Home made. It's healthier.

Oh no doubt. I just know i read somewhere of some frozen ones that were amazingly just an 80:20 mix and salt-and thats it.
