Unifor uncovers SaskTel plans to send more work out of province unifor.org/news/all-news/… #canlab #skpoli

Kudos to Murray Mandryk for flagging this. Contracting out 10 jobs here and the attrition of 25 jobs there is not the most exciting story, but it points to something very very fishy at the top of the SaskTel/Sask Party decision-making bodies. #skpoli leaderpost.com/opinion/column…

Scott Moe needs to answer to SaskTel customers and the people of Saskatchewan: why the rush to replace good jobs with low-bid contractors and out-of-province firms? #skpoli #canlab

Unifor’s telecommunications members participated in a Phone Zap this evening, calling on local MP’s to introduce anti-scab legislation immediately. “Our industry needs this legislation. Employers have no incentive to bargain a fair deal if they can keep the business running with

Looking forward to our next discussions and to including all the other Bargaining Units! It’s a start people, let’s keep forging ahead!

Unifor members take action to provide winter clothing to migrant workers! Our union proudly sponsored Unity Hopeful Charity's 13th annual appreciation for migrant workers in Windsor Essex. A huge thanks to our members who volunteered their time to make this important event

On strike for barely a day and the calls from industry groups for govt to strip our members of their right to strike had already started. No surprise. We will defend our fundamental right to strike with everything we have. Solidarity St. Lawrence Seaway members. #canlab

Unifor Media Director Randy Kitt and researcher Marc Hollin appeared before this morning’s CRTC Hearings on Modernizing Canada’s Broadcast Framework. Unifor recommended the commission attach a media fund to the Online Streaming Act, where foreign streaming companies would have

Samia Hashi, Unifor's Ontario Regional Director: “While Bell declares billions in profits, it turns a blind eye to the legitimate wage demands of its workforce, who are the very reason for their success.”

Throughout the pandemic, telecommunications workers were on the frontlines keeping our communities connected. Despite this, Bell Canada has downsized its workforce and outsourced more and more work. It's wrong – and it’s time for Bell to negotiate a fair deal for these workers.

Privatization is a clear betrayal of Crown corporation principles of local ownership for local jobs and local benefit. We will raise this in bargaining and make sure every voter knows the Sask Party is betraying SaskTel and other cherished, home-grown Crown corporations. #skpoli

“Bell has chosen to put profits over people in the middle of an affordability crisis. Bell, you have now put Unifor squarely on your path. You need to know our members recognize a fight when they see one. And so do I,” @lanampayne warns Bell after termination of 4,800 workers.

So true!

Bell math: fire 6,100 workers and think you can improve telco and media services. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ #canlab #shameonbell

I want to be very clear. Facts do matter. It is blatantly false that Unifor was in any way, shape or form in favour or agreement with Bell’s deplorable decision to fire 1000s of workers. For Bell’s CEO to say such is outrageous, deceptive and delusional. Like come on!

Unifor members rallied with PSAC and a delegation of locked-out Vidèotron workers from Gatineau at Best Theratronics, a nuclear facility in Kanata that manufactures medical equipment, in support of our members who've been on strike there for about 20 weeks. Our union’s
