Unifor begins bargaining with Bell in Atlantic Canada

September 11, 2025

 

On Sept. 3, 2025, Unifor’s Atlantic Communications Locals began bargaining with Bell in Charlottetown, PEI. 

Key issues in this round of bargaining include protecting jobs, fair wages, and pension improvements. 

“After years of cuts from Bell, our members are fighting for wages that keep up with the cost of living, job security, and building protections for the future,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne. 

Unifor’s Atlantic Communications Locals (ACL) represent 1,400 workers across four locals (401, 410, 506, and 2289) in Atlantic Canada. 

“Workers at Bell Aliant are part of the future of the company – not just a cost to be cut,” said Unifor Atlantic Regional Director Jennifer Murray. “Our members deserve a future where wages reflect their worth. Where benefits support their families, and where no one is left behind.” 

At a Webinar meeting on Sept. 10, the ACL bargaining team presented an overview of the bargaining process, including member participation and access to regular updates. 

The current collective agreement with Bell will expire on Dec. 31, 2025.  

Bargaining will continue Sept. 30, 2025. A follow-up Webinar for members will be held on Oct. 15.
