We recognize that these are uncertain times, and many of you may be experiencing a range of emotions. Feelings of stress, anxiety, or being overwhelmed are completely normal during such challenging moments. As your EAP and OH&S reps we want you to know that you are not alone.
When experiencing stress, feeling overwhelmed and trying to absorb any new developments we suggest that you take time to understand and acknowledge these feelings. This will help you seek help if needed and improve your emotional intelligence to connect better with colleagues during stressful times.
If you find yourself needing someone to talk to, help managing stress or anxiety, or guidance navigating personal challenges, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your union office, or strike captains. We are working to ensure that they have resources and supports available to share with you. Ongoing recovery meetings, 2SLGBTQIA+ support groups, and grief meetings continue to provide safe spaces for connection and healing. In addition, the company has committed to maintaining Telus Health services for members.
With care and solidarity,
Your EAP & Health & Safety Committees
