What did Telstra HR tell the media, and why was it different to what they told staff?
Telstra HR sent around an email to staff outlining their reasons for calling off the EA negotiations as above. The email to staff said, “We have asked the unions to drop their demands for side-agreements and confirm that they will focus on EA discussions. Our door is open when they do.” In fact, this is repeated more than 8 times throughout Ms Grant’s FAQs document! However, what Telstra management said to you was different to what they told the media. “Ms Grant indicated Telstra would not resume talks with the unions even if the side agreement was withdrawn.” Telstra Pulls Plug on Union Pay Talks, Ewin Hannan, The Australian, 17/07/08. Obviously unions can’t speculate about why Telstra HR gave staff different information to what they told the media. However, we do know that this occurred.
