On the heels of the sale of Freedom Mobile, labour union Teamsters Canada said retail and call centre employees at the telecom company are interested in unionization.
Since the merger, the union has had “hundreds of conversations” with workers across the country, said Monette.
Workers likely already had concerns, but it’s natural that a moment of corporate uncertainty would make those concerns more urgent, said Stanford. Organizing federally may be easier for the workers and the union, as the certification process has fewer steps than under most provincial guidelines, and the union wouldn't be trying to unionize multiple workplaces under various provincial labour boards.
Some provinces have card-check certification, like British Columbia, while many including Ontario do not. “There's a sense that after years of inequality, after the pandemic, and now after rising inflation, workers in this country and indeed across North America just aren't getting a fair shake. And we're seeing a huge increase in interest for unions in Canada,” said Monette.
