What The SDA Can Do

Equal employment opportunity laws are there to help and protect you. As a union protecting employees in the retail industry, the SDA strives to enforce these laws by making sure employers are meeting their responsibilities.

The SDA will do everything within its power to assist you to achieve equal employment opportunity.

The SDA is already helping you with areas which affect your ability to be treated equally at work through enterprise agreements and regular discussions with companies. Some examples are:

• Improving job security.
• Career development and training.
• Achieving a better deal for employees with family responsibilities through greater access to flexible hours and family leave.
• Preventing sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination.
• Encouraging merit-based recruitment and promotion processes.
