Click for big version
About 40 Telecom lines engineers protested this lunchtime in Wellington at Lambton Quay against Telecom’s attacks on their incomes and employment rights. This strike action is within the framework of a nationwide action.
“The one day strike coincides with the first day of operation by Telecom Australian contractor Visionstream who are trying to force workers into dependent contracting arrangements – a move that would cost workers a substantial part of their income and leave them with no employment rights” the Engineering Printing and Manufacturing Union said.
