Full transcript
What's happening with your shifts at the hotel? You mentioned your hours suddenly changed—can you tell me exactly what occurred last week?
Radim kao kuhinjski radnik u hotelu i prošle nedelje su mi sati skinuti sa trideset osam na dvadeset, bez ikakvog upozorenja.
Are you currently a financial member of United Workers Union, or would you like to join before we raise this with management?
Nisam još učlanjen, ali želim da se učlanim odmah. Zanima me kako tačno funkcioniše taj proces i šta je potrebno od dokumenata.
Once you're a member, we can formally represent you. Under the Fair Work Act, employers must genuinely consult before major rostering changes take effect.
Razumem. A koliko dugo obično traje da poslodavac odgovori kada sindikat podnese ovakvu žalbu u njihovo ime?
There's no fixed legal deadline for their reply, but once you're a member, I'll contact management directly and follow up regularly until it's resolved.
U redu, to mi odgovara. Samo me zanima koliko iznosi članarina i da li se automatski odbija od plate.
Membership is roughly nine dollars a week. If you choose payroll deduction, it's taken automatically, otherwise you can pay directly through the union each month.
Da li poslodavac može saznati da sam se ja lično žalio, ili ostaje poverljivo dok se sve ne reši?
You won't be named without your permission. The complaint stays confidential unless you agree otherwise, so management won't know it came specifically from you.
To mi mnogo znači, jer ne želim probleme na poslu. Hajde da potpišemo pristupnicu danas i krenemo dalje.

Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting.
