Building a better future for telecom workers.

Across Canada, things are getting harder and harder for people in the telecommunications sector.
It doesn’t need to be this way – you can be part of making positive changes. 

It is the hard work and abilities of telecom workers that make Canada’s telecom companies like Telus, Shaw, Rogers, Fido, Bell and others so profitable. But with shifting regulations and technology changes, profitable companies are cutting costs on the backs of hard-working employees and some are moving jobs out of the country.

The United Steelworkers want to ensure that workers in the telecom sector across the country can work in a healthy and safe environment, and receive good wages and benefits for the work that they do.

It all adds up to one thing: You deserve to have a voice at your work.

If you work for a telecom company, or for a contractor doing telecom work, make sure you know what being a union member and having a real voice on the job can mean for you. We are committed to providing telecom employees without union representation with the information they need to join. 

The United Steelworkers represents over 10,000 workers in the telecommunications sector including field technicians, network technicians, call centre workers, and many more! Many of our telecom members are represented by USW Local 1944, a national local across Canada.
