Your Union is stronger and more united than it has been in 17 years thanks to your support and solidarity, therefore we have a wide array of options to escalate pressure on the employer. It’s up to the Company to determine how far we need to go to make them offer you a fair deal.

Bargaining Update #32 - Members Reject Telus Offer
