Lockout Measure #20 - Company Release

Strike Update 05 - #73

Distributed to TELUS team members

September 23, 2005

TELUS implements lockout measure #20 for various functional areas in Alberta

As of Thursday, September 22, 56 per cent of bargaining unit team members in Alberta were reporting to work, and many areas of TELUS in Alberta are now working at near or full capacity, such as Human Resources and Corporate Affairs, where 100 per cent of bargaining unit team members have returned to work.

Other areas have stabilized operations and are effectively managing the workload with the existing complement of team members. As a result, bargaining unit team members in the following functional areas in Alberta who have not yet returned to work as of today will no longer be permitted to report to work during the labour disruption:

• Technology and Operations (T&O) - Logistics
• Supply Operations (Purchasing, Inventory Planning, Warehousing and Distribution, Repair Services, and Reverse Logistics)
• Real Estate Services
• Partner Solutions - Customer Care

We may be implementing similar measures in other areas of the company in the future as we continue to stabilize our operations.
