Full transcript
Hi, thanks for meeting me during your lunch break today. I'm from the SDA, here to explain how joining the union works at this store.
Anladım, teşekkür ederim. Ama bu sendikaya katılmak zorunlu mu, yoksa tamamen benim tercihime mi bağlı?
Joining isn't compulsory here. If you decide not to join, that's completely fine, but you won't have union support if a dispute comes up.
Anladım, zorunlu değilmiş, bu iyi oldu. Peki üyelik ücreti ne kadar, maaşımdan mı kesiliyor?
The membership fee is roughly six dollars a week, deducted straight from your pay each fortnight if you choose to join.
Altı dolar haftalık makul görünüyor. Bir sorun yaşarsam, mesela patronumla anlaşmazlık çıkarsa, sendika bana nasıl yardımcı olur?
As a member, you'll get help with pay negotiations, workplace disputes, and free legal advice if problems come up on the job.
Bu güzel ama açıkçası biraz endişeliyim, patronum sendikaya üye olduğumu öğrenirse beni işten çıkarabilir mi?
Don't worry about that at all, under the Fair Work Act your employer legally can't punish or dismiss you for joining a union.
Bu beni rahatlattı, teşekkürler. Peki üyelik başvurusunu nasıl yapabilirim, formu nereden bulacağım?
You can sign up online right now if you'd like, and your membership usually starts within five business days once we process your form.
Harika, hemen bugün başvuracağım. Beş iş günü içinde onaylanacağını söylediğiniz için de teşekkür ederim.
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 workKurum adı olduğu için 'Fair Work' İngilizce bırakılmalı, gerekirse 'Fair Work kurumu' denebilir.
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.
