Telstra chief David Thodey has signed an agreement with the telco's key unions outlining the principles that will guide negotiations over its new enterprise agreement.
Unions have demanded Telstra review its industrial relations practices following the Australian Electoral Commission's (AEC) confirmation that the telco had prevented workers their right to scrutinise the ballot process in recent wage negotiations.
Telstra announced today that its chief operations officer will leave the company on 31 January to return home to the US.
The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) has written to the Australian Electoral Commission complaining about the way that Telstra has been conducting employee votes on whether to accept collective agreements.
Unionised Telstra workers in Melbourne this lunchtime plan to hold a rally at which Telstra CEO will be given some Christmas cheer.
Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
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.
