Vancouver-based Telecom giant Telus is reporting a dismal second quarter and it's responding by cutting six-thousand jobs -- just under six per cent of its workforce.
Telus says four-thousand jobs will be cut from its main operations while a further two-thousand jobs will be trimmed at Telus International.
This as the company says its second-quarter net income fell almost 61 per cent -- to 196-million dollars -- when compared the April to June period last year.
Telus president Darren Entwistle says the job cuts were made with "a very heavy heart."
