It is good to see such a response to the latest sham contract, I have not seen this much anger and resolve to stand up to these bastards for a long time, at a meeting of all the subbies in the team I work in this week, 100% have all refused to sign the contract and have sent in the letter the union drafted for us, even the subbies who in the past were hesitant or refused to stand up and be counted have joined the union and are ready for whatever it takes to fight these mongrels, strike action included. We need to focus on the main issues, KPI, unfiltered data, pay rates,14 day card, etc etc, but many other issues need to be addressed, the issue of "dependent" verses "independent" contractor has still not been resolved, and the grey area between these two, the ATO has definitions on when a worker is an employee or a contractor, Comet Satellite and Cable who morphed into BSA,Service Stream, and know ISGM have all exploited this grey area. If you are truly "independent" you can make a business decision to refuse a TOW if it is not worth doing for financial reasons, ISGM will threaten you with no more work and say you are "dependent" and you have to do the TOW,..... when you say... oh seeing I am "dependent" ISGM can pay superannuation into my bank account they say NO you ARE NOW independent............the grey area, I know of some cases where subbies have taken these " prime contracting companies" to court and won their superannuation entitlements, all of these corrupt companies owe subbies millions of dollars. From what I hear, the fat capitalist pigs in Melbourne ISGM head quarters are worried, their bonus,s etc are in jeopardy, ask them how much they are paid, the regular increases they receive, compared to subbies who have been ripped off for the last 10 years or more, working longer and harder for less and less. It is know time to stand shoulder to shoulder as brothers in arms and fight these bastards. |

Now is the time to fight and not sit back with excuses everyone should dig in for a fight and not let ourselves be pushed around anymore by these corrupt companies they rip us all off every day we accept work from them as they accept a fortune from Telstra and give you a scrap to keep you involved meanwhile they make announcement in national papers of one billion dollars to be made by 2019 for themselves ,all off the back of our efforts while they run around in their offices trying to think up new and improved ways to increase their own personal wealth through their performance bonuses on top of there wages by screwing every last bit out of all their employees/contractors .Let us not just ignore what they are doing to us and our families say no more to this type of behaviour and not accept this contract. Just remember Isgm is only a management group and is empty ,we fill that void and give them everything they want ,our hard work and efforts in a completely destroyed network ,minimum pay for tow and to add a further insult a $1 increase in the tow rate in total for the next 5 years with a possibility of a 5 year extension , they really are looking after their employees/ contractors , great isn't it !!! |
