Several senior members of New Zealand's Labour opposition party have published an extraordinary public letter to Telecom New Zealand, asking the telco to re-examine the terms of a controversial contract that is causing widespread unionised industrial action.
Industrial action by the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union (EPMU) in New Zealand has seen over a hundred engineers on Auckland's North Shore walk out of their jobs in a lightning strike.
Telecom New Zealand faced union protests in Auckland today in relation to its re-shuffle of engineering contractors.
Transfield Services is making 170 staff who work on its Telecom New Zealand contract redundant because it is losing money on the work it does for the telco.
Transfield has secured an AU$75.4 million, five-year deal as prime contractor to replace telecommunications specialist Telstra's cable plant records (CPR) system with an open systems solution.
Maintenance work is a major expense for BlueScope Steel but thanks to a $1.1 million investment in resource management software by its primary maintenance contractor, Transfield Services, things have been looking up.
