Telstra workers will strike after negotiations with the company's management over enterprise bargaining agreements reached a deadlock, its main union said today.
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.
The Communications Electrical Plumbing Union (CEPU) will tomorrow meet with Telstra for the first time under the leadership of the telco's new chief executive David Thodey.
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 has hit back at union unhappiness over the telco's latest attempt to reach consensus on a new enterprise agreement for its workers.
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.
