The telco has already cut thousands of people from its workforce since 2023 and is looking to shed hundreds more with voluntary separation packages and early retirements, said Unifor, the union that represents several Bell bargaining units. The company said in a statement that it’s facing “unprecedented challenges” and needs to be leaner and less expensive to operate. The job cuts are across most of Bell’s operations but not Bell Media, the company said. (The Logic)

Talking point: Last week, Bell reported making a profit of $375 million in 2024, a nearly 84 per cent decline from the year before, and that revenue could fall in 2025. But it said it would keep paying the same dividends to its shareholders. Unifor president Lana Payne accused Bell of cutting Canadian jobs to help pay for an expansion into the U.S. market.
