Addressing CEO Darren Entwistle's Request Regarding Mobile Data Use
The Union is compelled to address a troubling communication from CEO Darren Entwistle that was sent on September 24th.
Telus is now requesting that our members restrict their mobile data usage to free up network traffic for other customers— another absurd move by an employer with little respect for working people.
We have been dealing with prolific payroll issues for well over a year. I want to acknowledge the frustration this is causing many of you. Despite ongoing discussions with Telus, these errors persist, and the situation remains unacceptable.
The application process is now open for members seeking to become a Local 1944 Delegate to the USW International Constitutional Convention taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada, from Monday, April 7th to Thursday, April 10th.
