Postponed (tentatively to 12pm 29 Aug @ request of Townsville & Vic activists who wish to hold co-ordinated action.
Another Major Corporation thinks its okay to increase its already obscene profits by sacking the workers who made them profitable.Telstra made a whopping $3.2 billion in 2011. In days gone by workers would receive a bonus. In Australia where we hear how great the economy is yet ,daily the discards of that corporate gold-rush in the form of jettisoned workers and society becomes more evident.SNAP ACTION 5pm Wed Aug 22 5pm Sydney!!
TELSTRA MADE A $3.2billion PROFIT LAST YEAR.NOW THEY WANT TO SACRIFICE COMMUNITY JOBS TO MAKE EVEN MORE-HUMAN NEED NOT CORPORATE GREED - HEY TELSTRA,WHATS YOUR HANGUP?? Occupy Sydney say no to Corporate Greed and Australian based Corporations offshoring work which can be done by Australian Workers in the name of increasing profits. BANNER & PLACARD MAKING TOMORROW ARVO @ OCCUPY SYDNEY MARTIN PL In 2011 Telstra reported a profit of $3.231 billion -a profit earned by is workers. Telstra will sack 422 full-time staff and 229 staff employed through agencies as it streamlines services, with some of the jobs headed offshore. About 235 staff will go from its Melbourne operations, 174 from Sydney and 242 from two call centres Telstra will close in Lismore in regional NSW and Townsville in Queensland. These staff currently work in Telstra's service centres and FOXTEL call centres. Telstra is shifting some of the roles to the Philippines. Business customers will still be served by an Australian call centre. Telstra is part way through an efficiency and restructuring drive. The company says the job cuts are necessary as more customers access Telstra services on the internet rather than through call centres. The closures include two consumer contact centres in Lismore and part of Telstra's Townsville site, with the calls being absorbed by other Telstra and FOXTEL contact centres, a Telstra spokeswoman said. Vodafone customers are already fleeing in droves in part because of the inept call centres they maintain offshore. The service is abysmal. And Vodafone customers are paying.Telstra customers will pay too in frustration and angst if not in devaluation of service quality. |
