Telus Reaches Agreement with Striking Workers

12:41 am on October 11, 2005 | Category: Business, Telecom Services

The Telecommunications Workers Union has, at long last, come to a tentative contract agreement with their employer, Telus. The agreement was arrived at late on Sunday night, and will likely put an end to the Telus strike, which has now been going on for close to three months.

The exact financial terms of the new contract were not divulged, but we do know that it involves merging six separate collective agreements into one that will affect about 14,000 employees.

“Together, we were able to negotiate an agreement that benefits Telus, our team members, our customers, and our investors,” commented Telus CEO, Darren Entwistle. “It is my hope and desire that this marks the beginning of a positive and co-operative relationship.”
