Telstra's unions will descend on the telco's annual general meeting in Melbourne this Friday to exhort shareholders to ask the telco why it has taken such a hard line with unions and to highlight risks associated with the national broadband network.
Telstra's submission of what appeared to be a non-compliant National Broadband Network bid put the jobs of its workers at risk, the Australian Council of Trade Unions said today.
The Terria broadband consortium is finalising a deal with key telecommunications unions which would see the groups negotiate a collective agreement in the event of Terria winning the federal government's $4.7 billion broadband contract.
Telstra has walked away from enterprise agreement negotiations with staff, claiming union demands threaten the telco's national broadband network proposal.
Telstra's unions have decided to approach the telco's institutional investors to put the bad word on Telstra's senior management in the lead up to its annual general meeting.
Two of Telstra's unions commenced industrial action this week; this gallery documents a protest held on Tuesday morning outside Telstra's Elizabeth St, Sydney office, during the strike.
