The CEPU/CWU has notified and authorised further industrial action to advance members’ claims for a new, fair EBA – including a pay rise that allows members’ families to keep pace with the cost of living.
This action has been designed to allow members to send a clear message to Telstra that they deserve better, whilst minimising the impact on your customers.
Therefore, the Union is directing members who are field-based employees of Telstra, with an on-site commencement time of 7:30am or 8:00am and who drive a company vehicle, who are covered by the EBA (including AWA and ITEA) across all States and Territories to engage in action that minimises impacts to customers by engaging in a stoppage of work between 7:00am and 7:30am (for those members employed with an on-site commencement time of 7:30am) and 7:30am and 8:00am (for those members employed with an on-site commencement time of 8:00am) on Tuesday 16, Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 April 2019. Members should not perform any work related duties during the period of the stoppage that applies to them.
Important facts related to protected action is produced below and members are urged to familiarise themselves with this information.
