The media release from the Shadow Ministers today, was yet another example of misguided political point-taking in the overseeing of the NBN.
Their media release was on the topic of bonuses and the lack of bonuses paid to those on the front-line in NBN. As an ex-employee of NBN Co, I've had direct experience with this topic. At one point I had 26 direct reports, some being paid bonuses, others not.
I believe that most NBN employees in the categories the Shadow Ministers are talking about, are likely employed under enterprise employment agreements, negotiated by Unions, such as the one they site with the CEPU. Full-time permanent employees that are paid bonuses, are employed under direct individual employment contracts.
