Why has Telstra HR said unions are undemocratic when they have not accepted our invitation for staff to vote on a constructive relationship?
Unions count democracy and people having a frank and honest say as part of our core values. To this end, we offered to have a company-wide vote on whether or not Telstra staff should have their rights at work clarified in the form of an MoU. We said, “The Constructive Relationship/MoU we have proposed aims to clarify your rights at work. One of those rights is for you to have a say. We think every single Telstra staff member should be offered the opportunity to vote on whether Telstra management embraces the constructive relationship. We hope that Telstra management accept this invitation to put the MoU out for a company-wide vote.” Read the full bulletin here. This invitation has not been accepted. No reason has been provided. If Telstra was concerned about democracy they should have recognized the outcome of the last election and not rolled out a further 15,000 AWAs.
