TEAM Letter to Manitoba Minister of Labour

As part of TEAM/IFPTE Local 161’s ongoing campaign to keep telecommunications jobs in Manitoba and in their workplace, and in light of Bell Canada’s recent announcement to cut 4,800 jobs, or 9% of its workforce, TEAM President, Dave Eyjolfson, sent a letter last week to the Honourable Malaya Marcelino, Minister of Labour and Immigration for Manitoba.

The purpose of the letter was to request a meeting to discuss the impacts of Bell’s continued job reductions on TEAM’s membership and local economy and ways the provincial government can assist us to protect existing jobs and increase job creation for Manitobans in the telco sector.
