February 24, 2022 - Bargaining is here, and the key to making sure YOU get a fair and improved Collective Agreement is YOU showing your support for YOUR BARGAINING COMMITTEE.

PUMA Campaign #3 is your chance to #RISEUP to show this support:

Each Local 1944 member working at Telus is being mailed your very own #RISEUP mask, stickers and tent card. Your Bargaining Committee is asking you to wear/use these items and to take a photo (or many photos) while doing so, the more original the better. Then send those photos in to riseup@usw1944.ca so that we can show off your support for your Bargaining Committee on social media.

With every campaign, our solidarity and willingness to act in unity is growing. PUMA Campaign #1 was RealityCheck, where you told us in large numbers that most PulseCheck responses are just what the company wants to hear instead of the truth. PUMA Campaign #2 was the High-Pressure Sales Petition, when over 2300 members called upon Telus to change its toxic high-pressure sales culture.

With this #RISEUP campaign, the whole membership has a chance to get behind your Bargaining Committee, to clearly tell your employer that we won’t rest or waver until we get a respectful deal that gets you better treatment at work!

In Solidarity,

Your Local 1944 — Telus Bargaining Committee
