Congratulations to Penny from Coles who has just celebrated her 35 year milestone working for the company.
She has been full-time for the entire time and has stayed for the job security and friendly team members who she has become friends with over the years.
When she started working at Coles, it was a given thing to be a member of the SDA – if you had a job, you joined your union.
She has stayed a member over the years to take advantage of the professional advice and support provided when she needed it.
She has seen a lot of change over her career at Coles, especially during and after the COVID pandemic.
She says: “I would never be without union membership because of the security and support given to me over the years by my Shop Steward, Organiser and the entire SDA team”
