I get the “macro economics” but they made 3-4 years of record setting profits and subscriptions, a quarterly blip is hardly a reason to cut a workforce in half. Telus isn’t a Canadian company. Not when 90% of your workforce is overseas.

I was in the union and it only reinforced my opinions on unions.

The union backtracked last minute to have the workers vote on the deal when they had been attempting to get a strike after almost 2 years of negotiations. The executive committee met with Telus last minute behind closed doors without the representatives from the workers and suggested we take a deal when up to that very moment we had been told we should strike

I told the Dumb bitch Donna Hokiro who was the head of the union, on a conference call
With 200+ people that this decision would be the end of the union and her and another ducking knob were like “well we don’t see it that way”

Fast forward literally FOUR months and the ducking unionized workforce was cut in half lololol it didn’t even take a year to play out exactly as I said.

I don’t blame Telus, Entwistle and co played it masterfully, it was completely the ineptitude of the union over the last 2 contracts that led to the demise.
