Bell Canada will eliminate 250 jobs in Canada office by February

Bell Canada will cut 250 jobs at several locations across Canada, including Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, but wanted to relocate some of the workers inside the company, in addition to rely on a number Voluntary departure.

The process should be completed on February 10, said Friday the public relations of the company, Jacques Bouchard.

"We will work with a number of them to help them find a job at Bell," he stated. Bouchard said "hope" to relocate all workers, but said that it "will depend on the number of voluntary departures."

The Canadian Union of Communications, Energy and Paperworkers deplored Friday, in a press release that "250 employees of the office staff of Bell Canada (lose) their jobs at the expense of a company overseas", a assertion that Jacques Bouchard has categorically denied.

"Like many other companies, Bell effectively outsourcing ( 'outsourcing'), but this relocation has absolutely nothing to do with it," he said.
