Corporate censorship

Via The Coast of Bohemia, Boing Boing points out an appalling move by Telus:
The Telecommunications Workers' Union of Canada has been locked out by Telus, a large phone company and ISP. Two of TWU's sites (including Voices for Change, a message board where union members can discuss issues such as being without a contract for 1666 days and last having received a general wage increase 2031 days ago).

Telus is playing very dirty -- they're blocking access to the union's website so that their workers and the general public are cut off from legitimate debate about this action. This is inexcusable: imagine if this phone company chose to block all calls into union headquarters.

Indeed. The Coast of Bohemia offers links to the CRTC and Telus' complaints page - stop by and make it clear that the censorship won't be ignored.
