TZV ECIS REVIEW
We met with Jacinta Thomson and others this week to hear more about the ECIS Review.
Our Support EBA Committee had raised several matters that needed clarification.
The first issue was the report that staff may take pay cuts when being redeployed
. . More

ECIS REVIEW – SALARY IF REDEPLOYED
TZV confirmed the above as follows: I can confirm that a redeployee will be salary
maintained if the position they are redeployed to is at a lower rate and they will receive
EBA increases as they apply. . More

NBN BULLYING
We have reported previously that the Fair Work Commission found that our member
had been bullied by his manager. NBN appealed part of the Decision and argued that
the Decision should be overturned, The Appeal was heard by a Full Bench this week.
The decision has been reserved, and we will report the outcome when it is known.

TELSTRA FIBRE GRADINGS
We are having an internal review of the situation this week. We have about 30 members
on our list (who have responded to our survey). We expect to move forward with the
matter this week.

TELSTRA REDUNDANCIES
We have attended several meetings this week to hear more on the recent
redundancies. The breadth of the work areas make this difficult to understand.
So we rely on you to raise matters with us if concerned.

AUS POST NATIONAL JCC
We have arranged for a national Consultative Council meeting for this week.
The agenda items we have submitted are: Electrical Licensing across all states,
Appropriate qualifications for techs, Be a friend initiative, AP Way Change management
initiative, Teams based allowance entitlements and Serious incidents/accidents and
their investigation.

ASBESTOS IN WORKPLACES
Our former Secretary (Lee Walkington) has provided us with this timely warning.
Please contact us if you have any concerns about asbestos.
News that Telstra is cleaning up its buildings and removing carpet from foyers and
office areas is a major cause for alarm. . More
