The Communications, Electricians and Plumbers Union says its talks with Telstra over establishing a new Enterprise Bargaining Agreement are proceeding well, but the issue of pay hasn't been discussed yet.
Telstra will freeze the remuneration of its executive-level staff at current levels as the result of its regular annual salary review.
New Telstra chief executive David Thodey today wrote to Telstra employees and unions pledging to end the lengthy stand-off between management and staff by negotiating a new enterprise agreement in "good faith".
Telstra has walked away from enterprise agreement negotiations with staff, claiming union demands threaten the telco's national broadband network proposal.
The Workplace Ombudsman has begun investigating claims that some Telstra employees were made to sign up to Workplace Agreements under duress late last year.
