Neutral Point of View[edit]

I'd like to bring up that recent changes may breach the WP:NPOV rules. The editor added "is focused in the area of pushing criticisms of the SDA and retail and fast food companies, with little direct support or constructive input into resolving the issues facing members", citing only the facebook page and no credible sources. The organisation's criticisms of the SDA were already previously explained in further detailed in the paragraph above. The claim that "RAFFWU claims to be "member-driven", "fighting discrimination in all its forms"" should also be deleted since it appears to be PR fluff.

Secondly, unrelated to neutral point of view, the editor also has a very specific definition of what a trade union is, many are not registered under the Fair Work Act. The Health Workers Union Queensland branch is not registered, as well as the ACTU affiliated union Professional Footballers Australia.^[1] The specific claim that this union is not registered as an organisation under the Fair Work Act is true and should be included, however, it doesn't mean that it is not a trade union. An ACTU trade union (as well as one branch) is not registered, and the news sources in this article refer to it as a union. I brought this topic in here as I did not wish to cause a WP:EDITWAR over the use of the term 'trade union' by an editor which only edits this specific page with POV content.

Also this page needs to be redone entirely. Does every single workplace agreement require a large paragraph? Only the notable information should be included, such as the McDonalds protests, the sections about concerns over EBAs go into significant detail over minor issues which aren't covered by independent sources.Catiline52 (talk) 07:16, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
