Full transcript
Hi Emir, I'm Sarah from the AMWU. Do you have a few minutes to talk about joining the union here at the Wagga Wagga plant?
Zdravo, imam malo vremena. Čuo sam da sindikat pomaže radnicima, ali ne znam tačno šta to znači za mene.
Great. Members get support with pay negotiations, safety issues, and free legal advice. Membership costs six dollars fifty per week, deducted directly from your pay slip.
Da li je to obavezno, ili mogu sam odlučiti da li želim da se učlanim?
It's completely voluntary — you're not required to join, and your job security isn't affected either way, regardless of your decision.
Dobro, a šta ako dođe do spora oko plate? Da li sindikat onda pregovara direktno sa poslodavcem?
Yes. If a dispute arises, the union can represent you and, if needed, take the matter to the Fair Work Commission for resolution.
To zvuči korisno. Kako se prijavljujem, i koliko dugo traje taj proces?
You just fill out this short form — it takes about five minutes, and I need it back by Friday afternoon at the latest.
U redu, popuniću ga danas. A ako imam problem sa nadređenim, mogu li pozvati vas direktno?
Absolutely. Once you're a member, you can call our office anytime, and a local delegate will support you here at the workplace.
Hvala vam puno. Osjećam se sigurnije. Potpisaću formular danas popodne i poslaću vam ga.

Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
