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 shareholders travelled from far and wide to vent their frustrations as owners and customers to the telco's chairperson, Catherine Livingstone and chief David Thodey.
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.
