BTS Contract Implementation Update

Sisters and Brothers,

Re: Bell Technical Solutions Ontario Ratification Results

We are proud to announce that members have voted to ratify the new Collective Agreement, with 65.5% voting in favour.

This agreement represents meaningful gains for our members and was achieved during a period of significant economic uncertainty, rising costs of living, tariffs, industry instability, and ongoing job losses throughout our sector. Despite these challenges, your Bargaining Committee remained focused on securing improvements that protect members and strengthen our workplace rights.

The new Collective Agreement delivers substantial wage increases, enhanced benefits, increased pension contributions, and 419 reclassification opportunities, providing real improvements for members across Ontario.

We would like to thank every member who participated in the process and exercised their democratic right to vote. Your support, engagement, and solidarity throughout bargaining were critical in helping us achieve this result.

On behalf of the Bargaining Committee, thank you for your patience, confidence, and unwavering support throughout this round of negotiations.

In Solidarity,

Jim Fling, Local 34-O
Drew Kerrigan, Local 42
Jeff Mark, Local 47
Colum Lynn, Local 1996-O
Clayton Nunn, National Representative

Re: BTS Ontario – Ratification and Voting Reminder

Sisters and Brothers,

We want to remind all members that your ratification ballot will be sent directly to your Bell
Technical Solutions company email. Members currently on leave and without access to their company
email will receive the ballot to the personal email address they previously provided upon request.

Voting will remain open for 24 hours, beginning Friday, May 29th at 11:00 AM. We strongly encourage every member to cast their vote and ensure their voice is heard.

As a reminder, members who were unable to attend the evening information sessions are welcome to
participate in the Friday morning session taking place at 9:00 AM. To request the Zoom link, please
email Kristyn Westoby at Kristyn.Westoby@unifor.org.

Your Bargaining Committee has worked tirelessly over the past four months to secure an agreement we firmly believe reflects the strength, determination, and priorities of our membership. The gains
achieved in this Tentative Agreement are the direct result of relentless pressure, long hours, and
a refusal to back down.

Let us be absolutely clear: we would not be recommending this agreement if we believed there was a
better offer available, or if we felt extending this process further would provide any additional
benefit to our members in any way, shape, or form.

This round of negotiations concluded on OUR terms, NOT the Company’s. We stood
united, held the line, and forced meaningful movement where it mattered most.

We encourage you to contact your local union representatives with any questions or concerns. They
have direct access to the committee and are committed to ensuring that all inquiries are addressed
prior to the vote. Please seek clarification directly rather than relying on rumors.

In Solidarity,
Jim Fling Local 34-O
