HFC SURVEY

We are currently surveying our members who were former HFC workers and now redeployed to other roles. The other roles may be pole inspection and phone cleaning. If you are in this type of situation, please email me for a copy of the survey form.

FIBRE CLASSIFICATION SURVEY

We have sent a survey form to all members who have registered with us. We have several back already. Once the bulk are received, we will assess them and develop a strategy to seek reclassification.

TZV SUPPORT EBA

We have been seeking a response from TZV about the commitment to commence bargaining. TZV are delaying this. They have not issued a notice of employment representational rights (NERR). They initially replied that the Government has not yet approved the commencement of bargaining. However this week it appears that the Government has approved bargaining. We are meeting with our steering committee members this week and will finalise and publish our log of claims shortly.
