The Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees' Association (SDA) is one of the largest trade unions in Australia with more than 230,000 members and branches in every state and one in the Newcastle, Hunter and Central Coast regions. The SDA is the union for retail and fast-food workers, but does have other areas of coverage. The SDA is a 'full service' union and provides a range additional benefits to members in addition to workplace and industrial protection. The current National Secretary is Gerard Dwyer and the National President is Joe de Bruyn. ==Brief history== In 1908, unions representing retail workers in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia combined to become the Shop Assistants and Warehouse Employees Federation. Over time, unions in Tasmania, Newcastle and Western Australia became part of the national union. In 1972, the union changed its name to the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association. The SDA are the last surviving of the Catholic-controlled "grouper" unions, as they were known in the 1940s and 50s, named after the industrial groups organised to counter communists in the unions.〔(Why is the union that represents supermarket workers stopping gay marriage?: SMH 2 May 2015 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
