    my own fault really.

    It won't affect the service one bit.

    It's bad now - it'll be just as bad during the strike.

    Oh, and don't bother replying. With my Xtra Broadband down to dial-up speeds, I'll not get your reply until after the strike, anyway

    Umm, these blokes do the work for Chorus, it's their copper whoever you get your service from...so it doesn't matter if you're with T'com, Ihug, Orcon or whoever (unless you're lucky enough to be on cable or TelstraClear's own copper) if there's a fault it's the same blokes that fix it.

    Not for long. They're striking because they've lost the contract with Telecom - to another aussie outfit.
    Aussie outfit needs to take on staff here. But instead of taking them on as employees, will only take them on as subcontractors.
    Each bloke, most of whom are in their 40s/50s/60s (some of them) will need to fork out over $100k to get the kit together that they'll need as subcontractors.
    Now, if they only get a maintainance contract, they'll be taking home about $21k a year.

    I tooted at the workers today. Mainly to see if my horn worked on the bike. I fail to see how standing at the side of the road getting people to honk resolves anything.

    They were striking outside work this morning, with the EPMU. I didn't have the heart to go down there and tell them that Telescum don't have an office in our building.

    i feel sorry for the tele workers and they have my full support.

    telecom was not making money with maintenance and service. the fact that they make massive profit overall does not seem to matter. so........they contract it out.

    now they have a recession on ( i bet they were waiting for it ) they are in a better position to contract it out to an Aussie company which is forcing the tele workers into self employment. and the workers are getting fucked ! don't try to tell me telecom is doing it so the workers will be better off. it should be illegal to do what they are doing in a recession!

    same old same old, CEO on millions and workers getting screwed down to a very typically low N.Z. income.

    give them a toot, dial in faults, do all you can for these boys as they are almost the only ones in telecom who do a hard days work for fuck all pay.

    Downer's CEO isn't.
    She's resigned.

    It annoys the senior management. More specifically, it puts them off of their freecell game and ruins their game stat's.
