Bell Canada’s parent company, BCE, has confirmed it is cutting another 690 jobs as part of a reorganization effort that began late last year.
The company says the cuts include about 230 unionized roles, and that in most cases employees are being offered voluntary separation packages.
“These changes are part of our ongoing business operations and reflect several initiatives,” Bell said in an email to CBC News, “including the migration of customers to a more resilient, easier-to-maintain fibre network and ongoing operating efficiencies.”
Bell cut nearly 700 jobs last November, mostly non-unionized management positions, from across the country.
BCE annouced last October that it was seeking to find $1.5 billion in total cost savings by 2028 through a “companywide transformation and continued focus on operational efficiencies.”
