What is Telstra HR’s future agenda?
We believe Telstra HR’s real long term agenda can be revealed in the agreement they tried to force on “Part B” call centre employees last year. The draft agreement included in Part B: * No certainty with start and finish times: could be anytime on any day * No guaranteed payment for overtime * Redundancy reduced to three weeks per year of service instead of four, and capped at 40 weeks for new employees. * No guaranteed pay increases More info: read Telstra’s 2007 offer to Part B employees and see for yourself the reduced take home pay and conditions on offer. If you want to know what your pay and conditions at Telstra would be like with no unions, look at Part B. That is the future. In 2007, employees overwhelmingly voted to reject the agreement because it significantly reduced conditions.
