Hello Members,
Your Bargaining Committee is pleased to share that, following discussions with Telus executives this past weekend, a tentative agreement has been reached on the outstanding Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Your Bargaining Committee met late last night and determined that we will be recommending that members ratify the offer from Telus made over the weekend. We hope to begin the voting process this coming week, for the most part utilizing the dates that had already been scheduled for strike vote meetings. However, please note that the first meetings on March 6, 7 and 8 are being rescheduled for March 13, 14 and 15 respectively, maintaining the same pre-scheduled start times. If you are registered for one of these meetings, you will receive a new Zoom link at least 48 hours in advance of your new scheduled meeting. Please refer to the table below to know when your meeting has been rescheduled. Other meetings will remain as scheduled.

Only members in good standing will be entitled to vote on the tentative agreement, details of which will be explained during the ratification meetings.
This has been a long and difficult process. The resolve of your Bargaining Committee and, most importantly, the support of the membership have resulted in a settlement that would allow us to move forward without a labour dispute.
Should you have any questions about your upcoming meeting, please email contact@usw1944.ca.
In Strength and Solidarity,
Your Bargaining Committee
