Trying again

Telus and its union have reached another tentative agreement, putting the decision back in the hands of individual workers:
Telus Corp. and its unionized workers reached a new tentative agreement, the company announced late Sunday.

Canada's second-biggest phone operator said negotiations with the Telecommunications Workers Union resumed Sunday.

At that meeting, the company made changes to its previous offer which unionized workers rejected last week, the union said on its website.
While the stand by workers in rejecting the first deal was an important one (it's always helpful to be reminded that unions run based on the will of its members), hopefully there'll be enough improvement in this offer to put the dispute to rest.
