Telstra has hit back at union unhappiness over the telco's latest attempt to reach consensus on a new enterprise agreement for its workers.
Telstra's main union has raised the spectre of further industrial action in response to its concern that progress in negotiating a new enterprise agreement with the telco.
Telstra workers will strike after negotiations with the company's management over enterprise bargaining agreements reached a deadlock, its main union said today.
Telstra has offered around 10,000 unionised staff a 9 per cent rise over three years. But the offer looks set to be rejected by the telco's main union representatives, who want a 15 per cent rise.
Telstra's main union is "actively" considering ending its long-running industrial action against the telco.
