What is Telstra’s real reason for calling off the EA negotiations?
As you can see from the evidence above, Telstra HR’s arguments for calling off the EA talks do not hold water. We have said that if anything in the MoU was illegal we would remove it. We have said we wanted Telstra staff to exercise their democratic right to vote on the MoU. And we have clarified our role in relation to the broadband debate: it is to ensure the principles of fairness, access, and advancing the interests of Telstra staff are upheld at all times. Logically therefore, all the evidence points to Telstra HR calling off EA negotiations for more subtle, hidden reasons.
