Rogers Communications threatened 26 former Shaw employees with a lockout after they unionized in February.
The telecom giant sent notice to IBEW Local 213 that it would initiate a lockout at 12:01 a.m. PST on March 19, 2025. The company is pushing for the employees, who are technicians located in the Kootenays region of B.C., to sign a collective agreement that would cut total compensation.
Robin Nedila, Assistant Business Manager at IBEW Local 213, said that the union held a ratification vote on a previous offer from Rogers with cuts, which was unanimously rejected. Rogers then provided another offer with slight tweaks.
