More bottles of the $6 "commiseration" wine were distributed to journalists as the CPSU stepped up its campaign to stop further job cuts at Telstra. Mr Veenendaal said CPSU members would stage a series of rallies outside Telstra shops around Australia next week. "We are so grateful that Telstra has axed 50,000 jobs in the last 12 years and is proposing to axe another 3,000 over the next 12 months," Mr Veenendaal said. "The wine commemorates - or commiserates - the 50,000th job axed." Mr Veenendaal said comments made to a recent Senate estimates committee hearing suggested Telstra planned to shed 3,000 more staff.
