Full transcript
Hi Mr Reddy, I'm an organiser from the SDA union here at Woolworths Chullora. Would you be interested in joining us to protect your pay and working conditions?
నమస్తే సార్, వినడానికి బాగానే ఉంది. కానీ యూనియన్లో చేరితే జీతం విషయంలో సమస్యలు వస్తే నాకు ఎలాంటి సహాయం అందుతుంది?
Union members get support during pay disputes, free legal advice if something goes wrong, and someone experienced to represent them if management treats them unfairly.
అది బాగుంది సార్, కానీ ఈ సభ్యత్వం కోసం నేను ఎంత చెల్లించాలి?
Membership costs eight dollars ninety cents a week, deducted straight from your pay, unless you'd rather pay it quarterly instead.
నేను ఉద్యోగం మారితే లేదా వదిలేస్తే, ఈ సభ్యత్వం ఏమవుతుంది? నాకు అదనంగా ఏమైనా చెల్లించాలా?
If you ever leave Woolworths, your membership simply stops — there's no exit fee and nothing extra to pay.
అర్థమైంది సార్. చేరడానికి ఎంత సమయం పడుతుంది, నా షిఫ్ట్ మొదలయ్యే ముందు అది పూర్తవుతుందా?
Joining only takes about ten minutes online, and your membership usually starts within forty-eight hours of signing up, before your next shift.
నేను వర్క్ వీసా మీద ఉన్నాను సార్. యూనియన్లో చేరడం వల్ల నా వీసాకు ఏదైనా ఇబ్బంది వస్తుందా?
Don't worry, joining the union has nothing to do with your visa status — it's open to every employee at Woolworths, regardless of visa type or hours worked.
అయితే పర్వాలేదు సార్, ఈ రోజే ఆన్లైన్లో చేరతాను. వివరాలు చెప్పినందుకు ధన్యవాదాలు.
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"మెంబర్షిప్ ఫీజు" లేదా "సభ్యత్వ రుసుము" అని చెప్పండి.
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.
