Bargaining Update #22 - October 21, 2022

Your Bargaining Committee Files for Federal Conciliation

Yesterday, many of you received an email from Telus “Setting Healthy Boundaries”. They say that “now is a great time to start setting and reviewing your personal boundaries”. Yet Telus is bargaining directly with our members, causing unnecessary stress.

Telus Bargaining Update #21 - October 19, 2022

Telus claims that their offer is fair and free of concessions. This is simply incorrect! 

We met with the Company today, and instead of bargaining with your Committee, they told us that they are putting the package that is almost identical to the one you have already rejected in front of you, for your review. Any improvements to the Collective Agreement they put to you are a direct result of your Bargaining Committee having fought for them. We believe they can do better because you deserve better!

Your Bargaining Committee resumed negotiations with the Company today. It is our goal to continue to meet with the company to ensure we get the best deal possible and address the priorities that matter to YOU.

Telus Bargaining Update #19

Today your Bargaining Committee met with Telus CEO Darren Entwistle, and we were joined by USW District 3 Director, Scott Lunny. We brought your voice to the table.

Telus Bargaining Update #17 - Union Suspends Bargaining to Seek a Mandate

Your Bargaining Committee is committed to transparency. That is why we have chosen to briefly suspend bargaining and have advised Telus that we are taking the next steps to meet with our members. Your Bargaining Committee believes it has reached a point in negotiations that we feel it is incumbent upon us to talk directly with you, and to seek from you a clear and decisive Strike Mandate Vote that will show Telus we are not backing down!
