MTS workers poised to strike over job security
About 1,100 MTS technicians and 1,500 CEP union locals face potential strike by mid May after 88.5 percent voted in favor. Negotiations began last November and broke down when a federal conciliator ended talks. Union rep Maggs Hadfield cites plans to hire cheaper staff and contract out work, risking layoffs. MTS says it aims to avoid downsizing and will consider voluntary layoffs only.
