On October 15, Unifor’s Bell Clerical locals began bargaining with Bell Canada in Montreal, QC with an initial exchange of demands.
This round of bargaining comes at a critical time as members face ongoing job losses, there are increased surpluses, and offers of Voluntary Separation Packages (VSPs). In this environment, key issues at the bargaining table include safeguarding jobs, improving working conditions, and ensuring a secure future for all Bell Clerical members.
