OPTION
Last
week, the media revealed two extremely detailed
leaked Powerpoint slideshows produced by Telstra
Human Resources staff. They showed:
- Pay rises they have
planned for your base rates over the next three
years do not meet inflation
- Plans to save $37 million in remuneration costs
What can you do about it?
Telstra
put forward three options for internal discussion in
the HR department - not discussion with you!
 |
Telstra’s leaked pay option slide.
Option 3 is the best, but even that option
means a real paycut over three years when
you compare it with inflation (rising cost
of living). CPI is rising at a rate of 4.5%
a year. |
HR is not
respecting your right to be represented by your
union. They are not bargaining over your wages and
conditions. The non-union, non-negotiated “employee
agreement” is take it or leave it.
However, by acting together, you can still have your
say.
Unions propose a fourth payrise option. We call it
the Respect Option.
-
It is higher than the
payrise options Telstra HR is considering: but is
still reasonable and affordable, and a lot less than
executive increases
- It gives you a 5% payrise each year over three
years to keep pace with inflation
- It recognises the productivity gains hardworking
Telstra staff have made over the last three years
- It should be a minimum rise for all workers, no
matter what agreement or contract they’re on
