Telstra staff protest job cuts

Date: 23 June 2003

Workers not happy as Ziggy takes it all too far...

Staff at Australia's largest telecommunication company are stepping up their opposition to management plans to axe 3000 more jobs.
Protest rallies are expected outside Telstra shops tomorrow to ensure the telco's customers are aware of the cuts and the potential impact they will have on service levels.
According to the CPSU's Trevor Veenendaal this latest round of cuts will seriously erode Telstra's ability to meet its current workloads.
"What we are seeing here is corporate anorexia. Over the last ten years fifty thousand jobs have been cut from Telstra. Core business is being damaged and opportunities for new business are being squandered because Telstra has lost too many experienced staff," explained Veenendaal.
The latest rallies follow recent protests outside Telstra HQ in Melbourne and at an AFL game at the Telstra Dome.
"Over the next week we'll be putting pressure on Telstra board members. Staff, their families and the community are being encouraged to contact the Board ask them to vote against the latest cuts," said Veenendaal.
