FSD redundancies: stay in touch with your union
In this round of redundancies, it is vital that individual members in FSD stay in touch with their union if they are to get what they want out of the redundancy process.
In recent times, Telstra has typically received more volunteers for redundancy than there have been positions redundant.
Despite this, redundancy has sometimes been denied some who asked for it while others who wanted to stay on the job in Telstra have been shown the door.
Any member in either of these situations should contact the CWU immediately so that we can make appropriate representations to Telstra.
It should be possible to avoid such outcomes, especially in circumstances where there is only one position to go out of a group of, say, 8 or 16 and there are likely to be several volunteers.
