Members of the TWU have voted to accept the latest proposed agreement with Telus. The November 6 deal, recommended by the TWU Bargaining Committee and the Executive Council, included several amendments. Over 64.1 percent of TWU members or a total of 6,808 votes accepted the deal. In total, 10,566 votes were cast and 3,308 members voted "No". The previous deal, reached October 30, was rejected by 50.3 percent of the members who voted. TWU members walked off the job July 21 to prevent Telus from forcing its version of a Collective Agreement on TWU members.
