Crack a fat

Dear Comrades
Lets stick together till the end of this sham contract.As you already know ISGM are nothing without sub- contractors.Talk is already been made that the Telstra techy's are all down and will come together to join our unity to reclaim the human dignity and the rights for all.
ISGM have bombarded all contractors with continuous emails every week about the sham contract Why? Coz there desperate.Dont fall for there bribes .Let ISGM understand we have a business that cannot operate on a loss. ;) ;) ;)

they must be worried, 1st we are threatened with no work if we don't sign this latest sham of a contract, then they say we can continue on the current contract, then they try to bribe us with a few peanuts.
I had a family member, who works for a large law company , have a look at this contract, it was then shown to the other partners and they could not believe it was such an unfair contract, one lawyer commented " it is like signing a blank piece of paper for ISGM to fill out as they want".
Some Telstra mates have said if we have to down tools they wont work extra days or hours, even a couple of AWA techs wont do extra work, I am not saying all Telstra techs would support us, but it is good to know that some would.
Now is the time to stand firm, and with the union , put ALL the grievances on the table to discuss, this may be our last stand, for too many years we have been used and abused by these bastards,.....I mean they are so arrogant and stupid ISGM and Telstra don't realize the contempt that we all have for them.

This is our Eureka Stockade............we must not fail

Merry Christmas ISGM - Just a taste of what is in store for you in the new year. I wonder what the Telstra penalties will amount to? Maybe our lawyers should be looking at the viability of ISGM - here's hoping we can send them into liquidation in much the same way as they are trying to send us into bankruptcy.

Does everybody understand that Isgm is running an illegal business using us to make themselves $500 million and a confident projection of $1000 million by 2019 again on our hard work . Do we also know we are employees ? Do we also know you are entitled to superannuation and workcover at no expense to you all as long as you take 80 percent of your work from Isgm. Do you also know why Isgm is such a brute? To control you and put fear into you , threaten you with removal from the contract if you don't sign their corrupt contract! Have you thought how is your business travelling Isgm started from 5 guys with one million dollars between them and 5 years down the track they have now $500 million that is a 500 percent increase on capital great isn't it , have you done that come to think of it have you had any INCREASES no only reductions in your sor payments. Well what are we and what are you going to do nothing! Something and get all your stolen money back from this corrupt company?! Did you also know Isgm has settled all workcover and unfair dismissal cases out of court. Paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars to individuals just like you rather than having a precident being ruled in court, every action taken has been paid , why because they know they are carrying out an illegal sham contract which will continues to make Isgm a fortune one billion dollars by 2019! Are they going to stop hell no they have an illegal business which has exponential growth. Does anybody want to know what we and you can do?! One join the union , join the collective, let's not muck around this time it is serious Isgm is about to list onto the Stockmarket and all those 5 extremely happy directors not you will individually make hundreds of millions of dollars each as they off load all their corrupt ideas into the australian public maybe even the fund that you or your family is investing their superannuation into!! Consider this lets all as a collective join together take Isgm to court to get our entitlements and instead of Isgm running away with our money let us run away with all of theirs , remember Isgm is a void without you they are an empty shell!! No money no nothing!!! Call John Ellery from the Cwu 0419823580 get active get started join and let us crush this corruption and get ourselves in a great position for once where you are finally in control not Isgm

Everyone lets all stick together and keep pushing forward. The union has done a fantastic job and without them we would not be in this position,well done!! Imagine starting a bussiness with 1 million dollars and in 5 years turning over 500 million wow!!!!And all was that achieved throught this sham contract,dishonesty and ripping off each individual contractor and his family .And the the sad thing is that they are continuing to take money from us.They want us to have no life work 7 days a week and be a yes man to this organization. Everyone please take a step back and have a close look at what isgm is doing..

Everyone needs to send the accc forms in at a minimum remember the union is doing a great jobs for us we need to focus and apply our strength towards Isgm that can only be done when we all push back together think about joining the union the more guys doing the same actions the harder it will for Isgm to ignore our calls for fairness from them . Isgm are relying on our indecision and inaction to consolidate under one body that is ,us all together and the union is where that all happens. The moratorium on kpi penalty expires in feb 2016 so we all need to steady ourselves and prepare yourself for penalty payment on tow using unfiltered data. This will have a massive impact on all our businesses but also a massive windfall to Isgm 's bottom line inflating their already excessive profits on the back of our work ,all because we want to earn a living fixing the destroyed dilapidated Telstra network and guaranteeing it for ,wait for it ,52 weeks after you have completed the tow , magic isn't it. Brilliant for Isgm though!!!So ask ,learn ,seek advice from lawyers accountants on how this contract will impact on you and your business ,join the union they have all the resources you can use but also use your own accountants and try understanding what everything means towards you ,call the Cwu on 0396636815 or John Ellery on 0419823580 and let's take this unfair unconscionable contract to the accc and see if Isgm can talk ,wiggle and fight there way clear from them I think not !! Do not SIGN!!'
