Full transcript
I'm visiting today from the SDA to chat with staff at your site about union membership and how it can support you at work today.
Baiklah, saya memang berminat nak tahu lebih lanjut. Tapi sebelum itu, berapa banyak yuran mingguan tu, dan macam mana ia dipotong daripada gaji saya?
The weekly fee is nine dollars twenty, deducted automatically from your pay each fortnight, only if you decide to join the union.
Baiklah, saya faham pasal yuran tu. Tapi kalau saya sertai, apa sebenarnya faedah yang saya akan dapat, terutamanya kalau timbul masalah di tempat kerja?
Members get free advice on pay disputes, workplace safety issues, and representation whenever there's a disagreement with your employer, such as at Woolworths Dandenong South.
Baik, saya faham. Tapi adakah ia wajib untuk saya sertai kesatuan ni, atau saya ada pilihan untuk tidak menyertainya?
No, it's not compulsory at all. Joining is completely voluntary, and you're free to resign anytime without it affecting your job security.
Kalau macam tu, saya rasa nak sertai jugalah. Macam mana caranya untuk saya mendaftar sebagai ahli kesatuan ni?
You can sign the membership form right now, or register online through the SDA website, whichever option feels more convenient for you today.
Baiklah, saya akan isi borang sekarang. Tapi adakah kesatuan ni dah aktif di Pusat Pengedaran Woolworths di Dandenong Selatan, tempat saya bekerja?
Yes, we already have an active delegate at that distribution centre, Priya Nair, who can support you with any workplace concerns.
Terima kasih banyak. Saya rasa lebih yakin sekarang, dan saya akan hubungi Priya selepas ni untuk lengkapkan pendaftaran saya.
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.
