Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition Jackii!

We asked Jackii what she enjoys most about her role as a union Delegate.

 

1. Why did you become a Delegate?

I became a delegate to help make a difference in my store.

 

2. Why is recruitment important?

Recruitment is important because the stronger our numbers are the bigger difference we can make. It’s all about growth!

 

3. What campaigns have you been involved with and why are they important?

I have been involved with the ‘No One Deserves a Serve’ campaign. This campaign is most important due to the increase of customer abuse in stores.

 

4. What has been your most notable achievement in your workplace?

My most notable achievement has been helping a fellow co-worker to be able to be included in workplace communication. Working with SDA and management we were able to provide team members with hearing impairments equipment that adjusts to their aids, helping them to feel included and open up further business opportunities.

 

5. What have you enjoyed about being a Delegate most so far?

I have enjoyed being a quite achiever. Having strong SDA training I am able to help members with issues through a good workplace relationship with management.

 

6. What do you aim to achieve in your workplace in the next 12 months?

I am aspiring to help build better relationships in store to make it a more friendly, stress-free environment and to continue to have strong union relationships with management.

 

7. What do you get most out of the role as a Delegate?

Being a Delegate ensures I can achieve the best outcomes for members and my co-workers.


SDA members can access important resources and information that’s specific to your workplace.
