explain the role of the fair work commission and the communications worker's union in the situation at Telstra
context:
thousands of telstra workers are expected to walk off the job on wednesday in a strike coinciding with australian council of trade unions' rallies protesting against the Coalition ahead of the federal election.
the communications workers union notified the telecommunications giant of 24 hours protected industrial action this wednesday to protest the telco's 1.5 per cent pay offer.
we are focused on putting more pressure on the actual enterprise bargaining discussions, because workers have concerns over low wage growth" cwu assistant secretary, John Ellery said.
the strike comes as the telco has been subject to work bans and previous 24 hour stoppage over the past 3 weeks and recently lost a fair work commission case claiming the unions; industrial action was unauthorised. the troubled telco is also in the process of implementing redundancies it announced last year, causing even more uncertainty for workers.
