More telco workers join strike action
Telecom’s Rotorua and Whakatane-based field technicians have joined the nationwide lines engineer strike as of midday today.
The 48 Rotorua and Whakatane EPMU members are employed by Telecom’s Australian-owned contractor Transfield Services.
The action follows strikes from Auckland to Christchurch today in support of their claim for redundancy protection – a significant issue in light of the current threats to job security in the industry.
The strike action now affects Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, Whakatane, Wellington, Blenheim, Nelson and Christchurch.
For more information about today’s strike action see our previous press release at http://www.epmu.org.nz/news/show/172848
