Phonetec reinstates sacked worker
 A community assembly successfully won a workers job back at today (Fri 22 Dec) at the Phonetec repair centre in Nunawading. Maggi Li who has worked for the company for 6 years was sacked last night. She didn’t even have time to say goodbye to her fellow workers. We believe she was sacked because she resisted a proposed pay cut.The assembly got underway a 9am and was disbanded at around 2pm, after management agreed to reinstate Maggi. ACTU president Sharron Barrow addressed the assembly and together with a CEPU official entered into discussion with Garry Chan manager of PhoneTec.  Garry Chan agreed to reinstate Maggi and the union agreed to work constructively with the PhoneTec to resolve issues around training. This is a fantastic development given that Mr Chan had previously boosted that Howard’s new IR law gave him the power to sack any worker without due process.Labels: Community Assemblies, Phonetec |
