TELUS and TWU Reach Tentative Agreement NOV 6

[Barry]

TELUS and the TWU have reached what could be a settlement to end the labour dispute. The memorandum contains the terms of a negotiated five year collective agreement that will now be submitted to TWU members for ratification. The TWU executive council and bargaining committee are recommending its members accept the agreement, which if ratified is expected to be effective from November 17, 2005 to November 16, 2010.

TWU members are to vote by a mail-in balloting process. Ballots are expected to be mailed out by priority post beginning Monday, November 7 and returned by Tuesday, November 15. The final vote result is expected to be counted and announced on Wednesday, November 16. TELUS will, within 72 hours of a positive ratification, begin the process of bringing all team members back to work as expeditiously as possible.
