The tactics used by Telstra's management to deny workers their right to collectively bargain is indicative of the worst elements of the Coalition's Work Choices. Management continues to push inferior and undemocratic non-negotiable contracts in a race to beat new IR laws to replace Work Choices. The Fair Work Bill is a step in the right direction to restoring fair and balanced workplaces - something Telstra has denied its own workforce. Workers need the Fair Work Bill passed to put an end to this kind of corporate behaviour. Therefore we the undersigned call on the Coalition to pass the Fair Work Bill.

My husband works there and the pressure is insane. Corporate greed is out of control right now.

Passing this bill is long overdue. No one should be forced into a bad contract just because management is scared of losing their grip.

Used to work for them years ago and they treated everyone like dirt. Nothing has changed apparently. Good luck to you all.

Telstra just wants to line their own pockets while the staff suffers. Bout time someone stood up to these corporate bullies.
