Telstra chief David Thodey has signed an agreement with the telco's key unions outlining the principles that will guide negotiations over its new enterprise agreement.
Telstra workers temporarily working in Queensland to deal with damages caused by flooding rains may have trouble voting on industrial action, according to a union official.
Telstra's battle with the unions is heating up as a second union has called on its 1000 members to strike over the telco's alleged anti-union wage strategy.
Telstra has backed down from a fight in court over the legality of its employee collective agreement ballots, despite showing defiance right up to the day of the hearing.
One of Telstra's key unions today flagged a second round of strikes planned for Tuesday next week, giving the telco just one day's peace after industrial action scheduled for this weekend.
Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
Two of Telstra's unions commenced industrial action this week; this gallery documents a protest held on Tuesday morning outside Telstra's Elizabeth St, Sydney office, during the strike.
