Re:Public Outcry
No, Telus did not terminate this as a result of a public outcry. Let's look at what the website did first.
For starters, the website is not a union website. It sides with the union, but it's a private concern. What it did was to publish pictures of individuals crossing picket lines, and advocated intimidatating and threatening those people.
Telus blocked access to the website for its customers, and asked for a court order to have the material removed. On July 27 this was granted by an Alberta court. On July 28, Telus and the website owner came to an out-of-court settlement, whereby the owner would remove the material, and Telus would verify that it was removed and lift the restriction. The material was removed, and access to the site was restored. -

Re:Let's be accurate hereTo the average casual visitor, there is nothing at all even close to your allegations.
There is: Stories From The Trenches.
These are "funny" stories about how "scabs" (employees who work despite the strike) are harassed by unionists. Less funny if you are on the receiving end, of course.

Union site hax0red?

Re:UnionsWow, I'm actually surprised to see the (presumably) mostly white-collar crowd of Slashdot being on the side of the union.
Don't worry, at least the Slashdot trolls are firmly on the side of management!

Re:No.Now all the attention has led to someone partially defacing the articles section of the VFC website.
In the event this is reverted, the descriptions of two articles were rewritten in large red font to:
- You used ASP and Sequel Sewer on a publically accessible web shite! Shame on You!
- Telus, why do you blackhole this shite, rather than simply hax0ring it

Re:Correct me if I'm wrongThey're blocking independent website. I'm a Telus customer, and that was the first thing I tried: A CBC article has links to both The Union website and a proxy. The proxy works, but the direct IP address is filtered in their routers:
