In 2005 Telus, a large Canadian telco, blocked access to a union website during a labor dispute.

See »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telus
Not true. The site was operated by a third party, not the union, and was blocked because it contained threats to the life and limb of employees who crossed picket lines. (Such threats are illegal in Canada.) These threats actually forced at least one of the threatened employees to pack up his family and leave town for fear that they would be harmed. The lawyer of the owner of the site admitted that the content of the site was "reprehensible" and told his client to remove it... just before the Court also did.

In short, Telus acted responsibly.
