TORONTO – About 600 employees who provide telephone and television service and installation for residential and commercial customers of Rogers across Ontario, are set to strike June 15th, at 8am.
Their union, the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada, has been at the bargaining table with two of the four contractors for more than a year, trying to obtain a first collective agreement. The contractors are Intek Communications Inc., Wirecomm Systems Inc., SC360 Markham Inc. and Dependable Home Tech Scarborough.
