A number of Optus sub-contractors have been on strike since Friday last week and are refusing to carry out the installation and technical maintenance work they normally undertake for the telco.
Optus has selected Stream Communications as the single contractor over rival BSA.
If Optus contractors BSA and Stream Communications don't work out their subcontractors' problems by 1 February, Optus subcontractors across the country will walk off the job, according to a spokesperson for a subcontractor group.
The striking subcontractors from Optus contractor Stream Communications have come back to work this morning on the condition that the company will now attempt to work through their grievances.
Striking sub-contractors working for Optus contractors BSA and Stream Communications today rejected a proposal to come back to work.
