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.
Executives of one of Telstra's key unions will meet this Thursday to decide whether it will take the first step down the path of industrial action, an eventuality one union official thinks highly likely.
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 Australian Industrial Relations Commission today refused an application by Telstra to postpone mediation with unions until the telco's appeal about the commission's jurisdiction in the case could be held.
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.
