The strike between
Telus and its 11K unionized employees is getting nastier every day, which
is not surprising given how entrenched both sides are in terms of what
they want. Telus wants flexibility to deal with growing competition,
while the union wants to protect as many jobs as possible. The latest
low blow is DarrenEntwistle.com, which takes a shot at
Telus CEO Darren Entwistle.
Being a Telus customer and living in a place where the Telus workers have built a great relationship with customers, this is getting nuts. All of us would like to see a resolution soon.
If the CAW and Ford can reach agreement on declining employment, surely you would think the TWU and Telus could. Oops. Assumes common sense on both sides. Sorry.
