Bell plays its cruel hand to workers in Ontario
TORONTO, Nov. 22, 2012, 2012 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
Workers across the province have received
notice this week that their offices are closing or that they have been
laid off. Almost 100 employees will be working their last day of work
right before the holidays, on December 21, following Bell Canada's
announcement.
"Bell is trying to build itself up to be a massive media empire while
shedding jobs across Ontario through outsourcing, offshoring and
displacing work," said CEP Administrative Vice-President Barb Dolan.
"It is time for Bell executives to acknowledge the importance of good
jobs to ensure the well- being of employees, their families and their
communities."
Bell Canada has announced layoffs, office closure affecting
approximately 90 employees across Ontario, along with the consolidation
of work and movement of work affecting about 80 employees.
The announcement impacts workers primarily located in Ottawa, Toronto
and London. At the same time Bell is attempting to spend 3.38 billion
dollars to expand their media empire.
