Telecom workers need your support

[Pex Adams]

Tell you what, I'd rather get my business telecoms of Telecom, than some second rate wireless outfit run out the back of a Mr Whimpy van.

and for all your Ice Cream and other telco issues please call 0508 888 800

Hang on. Let's hear the whole story.

If they're taking a 50-65% pay cut, what are they getting paid at present? A lot of these guys are on some amazing penal rates at present.

As for the purchase of equipment, what makes this any different to a taxi driver working for a taxi company?

epmu have a bad habit of selectively telling the story in order to make their members look like victims.

More info please.

hope this helps

Now the Unions dont need to stand up for these people as they are not union members, but do believe every worker is entitle to a fair deal

Doesn't really tell me a lot other than their "independent" accountant and lawyer's interpretation and speculation.

My advice to them would be to say no to Telecom. If there is a genuine shortage of their skills then Telecom won't get their way.

But don't try to play the victim card here if you really have all the power.

... guess what company will be well positioned to take advantage of opportunities as the economy recovers, with a loyal well trained work force raring for action.

The India Telecomunications Co, Ltd?

This whole situation is a bit fucked.The owner/operator model was brought about because of the Post Office mentality.Work for life or 40 years.This created a sheltered workshop mentality amongst all their so called "techs".Under C+M we had our fun,but got some work done.Today,I don't know.Sit around and talk about how much work you do.It seems to me,and I'm only talking about the lazy one's here.You have dug yourself a hole and don't know to stop digging.
