Full transcript
Tell me exactly what changed at your workplace after you told your manager you were expecting a baby, Ms Mwangi, at the Dandenong warehouse.
Baada ya kumwambia meneja wangu kwamba nina mimba wiki mbili zilizopita, alianza kupunguza ratiba yangu ya kazi ghafla, bila maelezo yoyote.
Before this happened, how many hours were you rostered each week, and how many hours are you being given now?
Awali nilikuwa nikifanya kazi saa thelathini kwa wiki, lakini sasa wamenipa saa kumi na tano tu, bila sababu yoyote wanayonipa.
Reducing your shifts right after you disclosed the pregnancy could amount to unlawful discrimination under the Fair Work Act, even though you haven't been dismissed.
Je, kuna muda maalum wa kuwasilisha malalamiko haya? Nasikia watu wakisema lazima iwe ndani ya siku ishirini na moja.
Since you weren't dismissed, the twenty-one-day Fair Work Commission deadline for dismissal claims doesn't apply here; you can lodge with the Fair Work Ombudsman anytime, though acting sooner is wiser.
Asante kwa kunieleza hilo. Sasa, ni ushahidi gani hasa ninahitaji kukusanya kuunga mkono malalamiko yangu?
Please keep your old roster, the new roster, any text messages mentioning the pregnancy, and the names of coworkers who noticed the change in your hours.
Nitahifadhi ratiba za zamani na mpya, pamoja na ujumbe wa maandishi kutoka kwa meneja, na nitawauliza wenzangu kazini kama watakubali kushuhudia.
Once you've gathered those documents, we'll sit down together and lodge a general protections complaint with the Fair Work Ombudsman, step by step.
Asante sana kwa msaada wenu; nitawasiliana nanyi mara tu nitakapokusanya nyaraka zote muhimu.
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.
- fair workSema 'Fair Work' kama jina la taasisi, ukieleza inahusika na migogoro na haki za wafanyakazi.
- fair work commissionSema jina kwa Kiingereza 'Fair Work Commission' kwani ni jina rasmi la taasisi, hakuna tafsiri rasmi ya Kiswahili.
- ombudsmanTumia neno 'ombudsman' kama lilivyo kwa Kiingereza, kwani halina tafsiri sahihi ya moja kwa moja katika Kiswahili; unaweza kuongeza ufafanuzi mfupi 'afisa huru wa malalamiko'.

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.
