The formal announcement by Telstra of the closure of the Lismore Contact Centre means some mixed emotions for workers.
Our union has a long and proud history of campaigning for decent redundancy
benefits for Telstra workers. We recognise that for some workers the Telstra
announcement means a decent redundancy package, and a chance to start a
