Earlier today, members of the Federal Liberal Party of Canada’s 416 Liberal Caucus, representing every Liberal constituency in the Greater Toronto Area sent Telus President and CEO Darren Entwistle a message outlining their concerns with his recent plot to eliminate more of your jobs through office closures, forced relocations, and VSPs. This strongly worded message to Darren described how Telus’ recent actions would “…hurt the livelihoods of dedicated employees who have driven the company’s success but also contribute to a troubling race to the bottom, undermining the community's economic foundation.”

Read what Darren received in his inbox *here [1]*, which arrived on the heels of your victory at the Supreme Court of BC that imposed a temporary injunction on Telus’ plans to harm communities where our members live and work.

This latest letter joins earlier concerns written by other Members of Parliament, specifically MPs Matthew Green and Bonita Zarrillo [2] [3]on behalf of the Federal NDP [4], [5]Conservative MPs John Brassard and Doug Shipley from Barrie [6],...
En début de journée, des membres du 416e caucus libéral du Parti libéral du Canada, représentant toutes les circonscriptions libérales de la région du Grand Toronto, ont envoyé au président et chef de la direction de Telus, Darren Entwistle, un message exprimant leurs inquiétudes au sujet de son récent complot qui consiste à éliminer un plus grand nombre de vos emplois par la fermeture de bureaux, des déménagements forcés et des indemnités volontaires. Ce message à M. Entwistle décrit comment les récentes actions de Telus «...nuisent aux moyens de subsistance des employés dévoués qui ont contribué au succès de l'entreprise, mais contribuent également à une course troublante vers le bas, affaiblissant les fondements économiques de la communauté ».
Lisez ici ce que Darren a reçu dans sa boîte courriel, peu après votre victoire à la Cour suprême de la Colombie-Britannique qui a imposé une injonction temporaire contre les plans de Telus visant à nuire aux communautés où nos membres vivent et travaillent.
Le fait que cette question bénéficie d'un soutien sincère de tous les partis montre à quel point le dernier projet de Darren visant à supprimer des emplois au Canada est déconnecté de la réalité.
Pour vous donner un peu de contexte, au cours des 15 dernières années, Telus a bénéficié de contrats d'une valeur de plus de 2,7 milliards de dollars avec le seul gouvernement fédéral, tout en envoyant sans relâche des milliers et des milliers d'emplois canadiens bien rémunérés à l'étranger.

The fact that this issue has sincere cross-party support shows just how out of touch Darren’s latest scheme to cut Canadian jobs is.
To offer some context, over the past 15 years Telus has enjoyed over $2.7 billion worth of contracts with the federal government alone yet has relentlessly sent thousands upon thousands of good paying Canadian jobs overseas.
We all know how rare it is for our elected officials to agree on anything – yet they’re lining up to condemn Telus’ move to close call centres and force workers out of their jobs. Canadians and government officials alike are waking up to a fact that Telus employees have known for many years: Telus seems to not to have the best interests of Canada in mind.
