The SDA is a trade union promoting the interests and defending the rights of our members in the retail, warehousing and fast-food industries.

SDA members know that the union protects their rights at work.

Together we are strong. Through our numbers we negotiate with employers, providing strength and unity that cannot be achieved by an individual worker on their own. We give employees confidence and strength when negotiating with local management, providing the strength in unity that cannot be achieved individually.

The SDA offers help to its members at all levels, from the workplace level to senior management to the Fair Work Commission.

We are staffed by dedicated officials, experienced in dealing with management at the highest level and most of our employees have worked in retail, warehousing and fast-food.
