Some newsagents retain association membership to access labour rate and public holiday information. If this is you, save yourself the money.
- Click here for an accurate public holiday list.
- Click here to access the Fair Work Ombudsman Award finder.
Here are other free resources some newsagents use associations for:
- Advice on checking shopper bags for possible theft.
- Advice from the Federal Police on reducing the impact of theft.
- How to do a magazine relay in your newsagency.
- How to address magazine oversupply.
I think newsagency associations are out of touch with the needs of newsagents. Also, given they serve two different businesses, they are conflicted and less effective for each.
