Re: Woolworths FAQ- how to get a job Only 1 shift ever? That is pretty good man haha. And yeah I don't know what the deal is with the national and state agreements. Seems like useless duplication to me :S The breaking point for me was today when the 2IC called me in the morn to tell me (not...

Re: Woolworths FAQ- how to get a job Yeah I thought that might be the case. Anyway thanks for your help - I really appreciate it :)

Re: Woolworths FAQ- how to get a job THANKS soo much for that babikakez! Lifesaver hehe The only clause I could find in the agreement relaitng to the cancellation of shifts is this but somehow I don't think "permanent employee" refers to casuals, only part and full-timers: 4.5.3 A...

OK I tried searching it and couldn't find anything :( If you come across it please let me know :P

Ah thanks for that babikakez. So it doesn't really give a time frame as to when the employer has to make contact with the employee before cancelling their shift :S I didn't think of the FWA site, but I'll give that a shot as well. :read:

Hey guys, does anyone have a link to the PDF of the new Woolworths EBA that came into effect on July 1st this year? I can't seem to find it on the SDA's website and it's not even up on my lunch room wall :S Anyway the reason I need it is my work keeps calling me to tell me that my shifts...

Yeah that made sense, thanks babikakez. That's not fair though on the part of the casual supervisor.... in that situation is there any other way she'd be able to claim the higher rate? If they did that to me I would be pretty pissed....

Hey guys, I've been training to become a supervisor for the last few weeks and now it's come to the stage where I am given "Supervision" shifts where I actually do supervision, ie no more training - just continue doing what I've learnt for experience. My question is, when should I expect my...

Hey guys, I have a few questions about the new uniforms on the TotalImage website. What is the difference between the Men's/Ladies Spot Shirt and the Men's/Ladies Plain Shirt apart from the fact that the first is a "Two Tone Green Spot" colour whereas the second one is "Fresh Green"? Are...

Wow thanks so much for all of that info ekul.. It's good to know that they're aware of most of the probs we've talked about here and that they will hopefully be resolved with the next update. I must admit though, my heart did sink a notch when u said that "they are committed to improving the...

No probs. Just remember, all the hard work now will pay off in the end when you have 3 months off to party haha

Well yeah, nobody said they were difficult to read ;). The problem is copying down a week's worth of shifts when the company could easily give us our own individualised time-sheets/rosters at the beginning of the week. Or email them to us. Honestly, who wants to waste their break time/free...

Groovygirl, I don't really think it's your fault. They should really give us a copy of our shifts every week - all they need to do is print off an extra copy of the roster, cut it up and give it to each person. As other people have suggested, it would be cool if there was some sort of online...

Oh yeah - as you can see my memory isn't that great haha

This shows how sad my life really is... while surfing YouTube the other day I found these Woolies ads from the dark ages. They don't look familiar (visually) but I definately remember the jingle haha YouTube - woolworths the fresh food people YouTube - Woolworths The Fresh Food People 1994 Ad

Ah ekul just remembered something - can you ask her if she knows whether there is any, ANY chance that the company would consider bringing back the NCR software? Or customsiing the NCR software? What if enough customers and staff complain, will they consider a roll-back? loll You can see I am...

Thanks man, looking forward to it. Yeah ours got broken once but luckily they replaced it. Afterwards they said don't break it again because we are not replacing it and they were right - about a week later someone smashed the glass panel on the barcode scanner at the top of the PDA so that...

Oh I didn't know that they had to reply... I jsut thought that if the customer put it in writing, it would add more weight behind their complaint. But now that u told me that, I am definately going to push for a few people to fill them in tomorrow haha ;)

Yeah I was pretty much the only one who used the PDA at work... maybe becasue I was too lazy to walk up to each machine lol Hmm if you could ask her all those things and post what she says here, it would be great!! It will be interesting to hear her responses. Ah and if I think of anything...

Yep most of my managers don't give a crap either.... if only they did then they could help change things by voicing their concerns with other managers further up the food chain to try and get things done. That's a great idea danberg. Tomorrow before we open I'm going to put a whole bunch in...
