Australian EDS staff have suffered a fresh round of job cuts this week, according to sources, as local employees vote on whether to accept a 10 per cent pay cut handed down globally.
EDS staff are today gathering for a "town hall" meeting in Melbourne; however, spokespeople for the company would not confirm whether the issue of pay cuts would be debated.
EDS Australia workers have claimed that the company plans to ask them to sign a new employment agreement following the company's acquisition by Hewlett-Packard. But, terms on maintaining conditions and pay remain uncertain.
US technology giant Hewlett Packard needed to clarify how many Australian jobs would be affected by its worldwide job cuts, the Association of Professional Engineers, Scientists and Managers Australia (APESMA) said today.
EDS Australia's heavily unionised workforce has not yet started airing any issues associated with the Texan outsourcing giant's US$13.9 billion acquisition by Hewlett-Packard, according to a key union representative.
