  • Epic. Win. GO DOWNER!

  • With all the talk of redundancy, putting fear in the hearts of workers and trying to make them sign up to this corrupt concept of working has now backfired on you.

    Visionstream, how can you run a company when nobody wants to work for you. You are becoming the leper of NZ and before you are told by Telecom to sling your hook before industry comes to a standstill, Best go on your own free will.

    You tried and you failed dismally

  • the telco industry will get screwed if we don,t all stand up and fight,don,t think that this won,t happen to you,don,t be so smug!! stand up fellow workers,its to late to complain later,remember the nzpo union, we didn,t make enough noise,don,t blow it this time.

  • Thank you for your support. We are meeting tomorrow to discuss our campaign stratergy with the support of the rest of the telco technicians (Downer & Transfield). This could lead to something big if we all stand strong together and don't falter from our stance.

  • This cannot be allowed to happen. Maritime Union New Zealand full support to all workers.

  • This goes for Chorus and anyother offshore contracting company who think that they can come over here and dictate employment terms&conditions with talking to us.

  • if we stand together and not have any communication with visionstream they will have to listen to us

  • Visionstream, If you want me to sign up to this bag of shit, then you can kiss my hairy arse
