Your Bargaining Committee has been meeting with Telus this past week. We have completed three rounds of discussions on all of the items that were placed on the table July 26th.

We will next be meeting face-to-face with the Company on April 1, 2011, at which time your Bargaining Committee expects negotiations to intensify.
 
Between now and April 1, your Bargaining Committee will be preparing for the next stage of negotiations.

Since our last communication, the Union and the Company have come to an understanding on a small number of additional issues and some further progress has been made.  However, there are still significant issues left unresolved. 

We will continue to update you as bargaining progresses.
