Telus

You aren't impressed!

When the Company chose to bargain directly with YOU last week by emailing you a summary of their offer on the same day they presented it to your Bargaining Committee, they were attempting to undermine your Union. They felt that they had the ‘pulse’ of the Members and that you’d buy what they were selling.

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. We delivered your dissatisfaction with the current offer and have managed to push Telus off some smaller concessions. While the conversation with Darren Entwistle was respectful, Telus nonetheless followed the same pattern, making small moves on monetary offers to distract from the real issues.

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!

Telus Bargaining Update #14 - August 2, 2022

As the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation approaches, your Bargaining Team is working hard to negotiate its inclusion and others into our Collective Agreement.

Telus publicly recognizes the importance of these holidays but fails to show the same commitment at the bargaining table without concessions!

Appendix A
Telus refuses to accept the addition of this holiday without the removal of Easter Monday Holiday. Members will see no increase in paid time off.

Telus Bargaining Update #13

Telus has heard the Union’s proposals and said they understand the Union's position. However, the Company has shown little movement and instead continues to push their contrary and divisive concessionary proposals, seeking reductions to pensions, benefits, and threatening job uncertainty.

Hello members,

Telus’ concessions remain on the table.

Your committee is fighting for a successful collective agreement. Job security, wage increases, health benefits. Our Power to make gains comes from your support and your participation.

When we stand together and support each other in solidarity, anything is possible.

Other Unions are rising up, and standing up for themselves and making gains.

We've been bargaining for 8 months and met with the Company for 43 days and despite record profit, more than 50 concessions remain on the table. Despite fighting to make meaningful gains your committee has spent much of its time defending the benefits in our current contract.
