VANCOUVER, Oct. 8, 2014 /CNW/ - Nevada-based Teliphone Corp. (OTCPK:TLPH), a holding corporation in the telecommunications industry. is pleased to announce that it has executed a settlement agreement with Unifor (formerly CEP, the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers' Union of Canada) regarding all mutual proceedings between the parties. The settlement agreement was also executed by Teliphone Corp.'s former subsidiary, Teliphone Navigata-Westel Communications Inc. ("TNW") and 0865944 B.C. Ltd.
The proceedings arose as a result of Teliphone Corp's acquisition through its former subsidiary TNW, of certain assets of Navigata Communications 2009 Inc. in December 2012 and the subsequent restructuring of the assets. This included a collective agreement for certain Navigata employees belonging to Local 206 of Unifor and employed through 0865944 B.C. Ltd. Under the agreement, TNW will pay Unifor union dues for these employees for the calendar year 2013, and continue to pay the balance of severance owed to CEP workers laid off after the asset acquisition, both on behalf of 0865944 B.C. Limited. This includes interest, as well as a number of agreed adjustment payments to former employees. On September 30, 2014 Teliphone Corp terminated its staffing agreements with 4237561 Canada Inc. Since the acquisition of Navigata assets, 4237561 Canada Inc. was the employer for all Teliphone Corp's Canadian human resources.
Teliphone Corp is satisfied with the outcome of negotiations with Unifor and are pleased that this final settlement will close the chapter on the matter and allow the companies to proceed with business as usual.
