Bargaining Update #29

Hello Members,

By now, you may have received a proposed collective agreement from Telus, which they believe that you will settle for and accept this substandard offer. We believe this offer should be firmly rejected as Telus can do better.
 
Please note that the package Telus has put forward contains provisions that have not been agreed to by your Bargaining Committee. Telus has chosen to walk away from the Bargaining Table and not engage in further negotiations, leaving many outstanding issues unresolved.
 
You will find here a summary of the current status of negotiations, including areas where we have agreement and as well as the areas that are still in dispute. We encourage all members to review this information and come prepared with questions for the upcoming Town Hall meetings. We will have the opportunity to discuss these issues in more detail and vote on the package before us.
 
You can also see that this document shows a side-by-side comparison of all Company-proposed wage schedules versus all Union-proposed wage schedules.
In Strength and Solidarity,

Your Bargaining Committee
