Show moreTelecommunications Workers Union president Bill Clark addresses a huge rally of 4,000 that filled the street outside B.C. Tel's William Farrell Building in downtown Vancouver as TWU members ended their occupation of the building. The occupation, set against the background of the company's refusal to endorse contract improvements recommended by conciliator Ed Peck, had begun spontaneously in Nanaimo February 3 when members were suspended for wearing a buttons promoting the union's Crown Corporation Now! campaign. It spread to other B.C. Tel operations including the downtown headquarters where nearly 1,000 TWU members took over the building before marching out at noon February 10 following a B.C .Supreme Court ruling that found the union in contempt for the earlier occupation in Nanaimo. The union reached a tentative agreement in early March but it would take a walkout by the entire unionized workforce in Nanaimo before the company agreed to reinstate twenty-four workers who had been fired.
