Today, Tuesday, April 23rd, 2024, USW Local 1944 conducted the Election of Local Union Officers and Unit Officials 2024.
Voting ran from 5:00 am to 8:00 pm (Pacific Time) by electronic ballot using Intelivote.
Local 1944 Officers were happy last week to hear from Telus Labour Relations that Telus was requesting a meeting with the Local to discuss the ongoing payroll issues, including what Telus was doing to try to resolve them, and so we agreed to meet with them.
Hello members,
On this day of December 6, we stand together to observe the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. This significant day serves as a reminder of the tragic events at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal, where 14 young women lost their lives to an act of senseless violence.
Hello Members,
As we continue to face issues with Telus' payroll system, we want to hear directly from you on how these problems are impacting you and your family. We've created a quick survey to gather valuable information. Your input is crucial in understanding the scope and severity of these issues.
