Telecommunications giant Telus is looking to shed several hundred people from its Canadian workforce by offering buyouts to 2,000 people.
据CBC（加拿大广播公司）报道，加拿大电信巨头Telus正寻求通过向2000人提供买断的方式将其加拿大的员工数量削减数百人。
The Toronto Star first reported the news on Wednesday evening, saying the cuts have been targeted to customer support roles for wireless, internet and cable customers.
《多伦多星报》在（上）周三晚间首先报道了上述消息，报道称裁员将波及无线、互联网和有线客户的客户支持岗位。
USW Local 1944, which represents 6,500 Telus workers across the country, says 2,000 buyout packages have been offered.
代表Telus在加拿大全国6500名工人的USW Local 1944表示，Telus已经提供了2,000个买断一揽子方案。
According to the company's most recent annual report, the company has 108,500 employees in total, of which 34,700 are in Canada.
依照Telus最新的年度报告，该公司共有员工108,500，其中34,700人在加拿大。
When asked for comment by CBC News, Telus said that while it has made the offer to 2,000 workers, it will cap the actual number of packages it would accept far lower.
当CBC新闻要求置评时，Telus 表示，虽然已经向 2,000 名员工提出买断一揽子方案，不过公司将会限制让接受买断一揽子方案的人数远低于2000人。
"We are offering a voluntary separation package to 2,000 team members, and anticipate several hundred to accept the offer. We will also only accept several hundred to opt-in," the company told CBC News in a statement.
Telus在一份声明中对CBC新闻表示，“我们正向2,000名团队成员提供自愿离职计划，预计会有数百人接受该提案，而我们也只会接受几百个名额。”
The move comes barely two months after Telus signed a deal with USW on a collective bargaining pact that is in force until 2027.
此次买断方案出台，仅仅发生在Telus与USW就一项有效期至2027年的集体谈判协议签署协议之后的2个月。
