Full transcript
Hi, I'm Sarah, an organiser from the United Workers Union. I'm visiting your section here at the Shepparton plant today to talk about joining.
ठीक आहे, पण सदस्य झाल्यावर मला नेमका काय फायदा मिळेल? मी इथे गेली दोन वर्षं नियमितपणे काम करतोय.
If you join, we can negotiate directly with management on your behalf, help resolve wage disputes, and provide free legal advice whenever there's a serious problem at work.
ठीक आहे, हे ऐकून बरं वाटलं. पण सदस्यत्वाची फी किती आहे, आणि ती दर महिन्याला भरावी लागते का?
Membership costs eighty-five dollars a quarter, and that amount can be deducted straight from your fortnightly pay once you sign the authorisation form.
पंचाऐंशी डॉलर्स तिमाहीला जरा जास्त वाटतंय. हे सदस्यत्व अनिवार्य आहे की माझी इच्छा असेल तरच घ्यायचं?
Joining isn't compulsory here, but only registered members get formal representation if there's a dispute with management or a safety issue.
समजलं, अनिवार्य नाही हे बरं झालं. पण मी कॅज्युअल कामगार आहे, मला हा करार लागू होतो का?
The current enterprise agreement covers all permanent staff, and casual workers become eligible once they've completed six continuous months on a regular roster.
मी इथे गेले आठ महिने सलग काम करतोय, म्हणजे मी पात्र आहे. मला आजच सामील व्हायचंय.
You can join today and your membership starts immediately, though the next wage review under this agreement isn't scheduled for another three months.
खूप आभारी आहे. मी हा फॉर्म आत्ताच भरतो आणि सदस्य होतो.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- membership costs'सदस्यत्व शुल्क' किंवा 'मेंबरशिप कॉस्ट' असे सांगावे.
- enterprise agreement"एंटरप्राइझ अॅग्रीमेंट" असे लिप्यंतरण करून म्हणावे, आवश्यक असल्यास "कंपनी-स्तरीय कामगार करार" असे स्पष्ट करावे.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue 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.
