Since we began the 2012 membership drive last October, over half of our members have renewed their membership for 2012. But time is running out. 2011 memberships expire at the end of March 2012, so it is important that you make your payment ASAP to avoid losing your membership benefits including regular newsletters and website access. This year will be a pivotal year for the former employees of Nortel and your membership is crucial since membership fees are our only source of funding to keep this volunteer organization running and to establish our Special Action Fund suitable for any future litigation that we may need to undertake on your behalf.

    There is political strength in numbers, so please encourage any of your former Nortel colleagues who have not yet joined to do so.  We need to continue to press our issues with the federal and provincial politicians and in the mediation process between the UK, US and Canada for the distribution of Nortel's assets.

You can check the status of your membership by logging on to this website and then clicking the "My Subscription" command that will appear in the bottom left side of the screen under "User Menu".  Clicking the "Upgrade/Renew" button on the My Membership status page will then take you to the Annual Membership page where you can then click the PayPal or Offline payment options.

The following is taken directly from Nortel's facebook page. So sad to see the company that was so successful for so long finally hanging up the phone.

This will be our last post on Facebook as we are nearing the end of winding down all operations here at Nortel.

Some web resources for you all:
