Saffin condemns Telstra decision to close Grafton Call Centre
September 28, 2010
Page MP Janelle Saffin said Telstra Business has today shown its contempt for its employees and for regional Australia with its decision to close the Grafton Call Centre on November 23.
Ms Saffin said with this move Telstra missed an opportunity to turn around public opinion and show it can be a good corporate citizen.
“By ignoring the unprecedented local campaign to save the local Telstra jobs, Telstra has made it pretty clear how much it values us here in the regions,” she said.
“The organisation has chosen to ignore its employees, the union, the Mayor and State and Federal representatives and about 6000 local people who signed a petition asking to keep the centre open.
