What is the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)/ Constructive Relationship Agreement (CRA)?
Unions proposed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that recognizes your rights to: * Certainty about your rights at Telstra. * Clarity about what the changes in Australia’s workplace laws means for you. * Advice and representation and access to your union representative. * A more positive and constructive relationship between Telstra and your unions. It might help to think about the MoU not as a document or as an agreement, but as a symbol of a better way forward for Telstra staff, their union representatives and HR management who sets pay and conditions. We used the draft Constructive Relationship Agreement (CRA) to kick off debate with Telstra. We later refined that to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Get your copy here. These sorts of arrangements are common in many Australian businesses, even under WorkChoices.
