Get all the facts about the non-negotiable ECAs

February 23, 2009


Download this detailed analysis for a comparison of Telstra HR’s non-negotiable ECA’s and the unions’ position on your rights and entitlements.

Thirty-nine of these two-tier agreements have now been rejected by workers – and it’s no wonder why.

If a non-union deal is offered in your workplace, there are a few simple steps you should follow.

1. Contact your union or Unions Australia (1300 486 466 or www.unionsaustralia.com.au) for advice.

2. Ask how many people will be voting on the deal, and who they are.

3. Ask for details about the timing and conduct of the ballot.

4. Insist on the appointment of a scrutineer (preferably, your union delegate).

5. Ask for a copy of the electoral roll.

6. Demand that there is a comprehensive declaration of the result, including how many voted and the final tallies.

7. Download and fill out this letter to the Director of the Workplace Authority, Barbara Bennett (and forward a copy of the letter and the response to your union or to Your Rights at Telstra).

What can I do?
Talk to your workmates about the impact upon current AWA employees of the Telstra ECAs. If an ECA is being voted on in your area encourage those voting to vote No.

Email Telstra ECAs and let them know that as a current AWA employee you want to have the choice to be covered by any endorsed agreement. Send a copy of your email to your union.

What if I’m not a union member?
