TheSDA’sRegionalRoadshowhasbeen rollingaroundtheState,takinginFountain Gatefrom10to16July,Doncasterfrom14to 20AugustandthenontoSouthlandfrom9to 15October,beforefinishingupinGeelongat theendofOctober. Like the many that have gone before, these roadshows proved to be a wonderful success, and members were happy to see various SDA representatives in store discussing the issues that were important to them. As always, we were joined by our partners Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, ME Bank and REST Industry Super. SDA members were pleased to hear about what Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, ME Bank and REST Industry Super could offer them, from free will kits to superannuation advice and discount home loans. Geelong in particular proved to be a large success, with more than 300 new members joining the Union, a roadshow record. Spending a week in one particular area is proving to be a great way to keep members up to date with SDA campaigns, and many expressed ongoing support for the SDA’s campaign for 100% Pay at 18 and the continued fight to Protect Penalty Rates. As well as providing non-members with the chance to join, existing members were also able to update their details for their chance to go in the draw to win a new iPad. Congratulations to Ahren from First Choice Liquor Fountain Gate and Maxx from Woolworths Waurn Ponds (our Geelong winner) who were lucky enough to be pulled out of the hat!
