Rostering & Shifts

Know what your rights are

The SDA is the union for retail, fast food and warehousing workers.

Every day across Australia we’re helping our members to understand what their workplace rights are.

And if you’re just starting out in retail, it’s good to know what you should be paid and what to expect.
