The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) received a day of grace to prepare for legal action from Telstra, which alleged the unions had provided false information to employees.
Unions today said Telstra would appeal a decision by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC), which found that the Commission had the power to help mediate between the telco and the workers' representatives.
The Australian Industrial Relations Commission has back flipped, saying over the weekend it had no jurisdiction to adjudicate the ongoing dispute between Telstra and its unions, despite giving a contradictory finding just last week.
The Federal Court today dismissed Telstra's claims that its unions were feeding its employees false and misleading statements.
