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.
Participation in the Online Bargaining Support Kit Part 1 – Awards was fantastic. We filled the social media and inboxes of many organizations that have given Telus awards recently, and we hope that this makes them reconsider the ethical aspect of who they choose to honour in the future. It’s apparent that members are wanting to do what they can to make Telus act fairly towards its workforce.
The USW will be holding its 55th National Policy Conference at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto, Ontario, on April 24 – 28, 2023. The Conference will start with registration on Sunday, April 23 and continue until Friday, April 28.
Today the USW Canadian National Office launched a campaign for the public and members alike to send letters to Parliament calling for political leaders to urge Telus back to the bargaining table.
We are pleased to roll out our Online Bargaining Support Kit - Part 1, which includes a list of organizations - all of which have bestowed various awards on Telus for everything from brand to social impact.
As mentioned in Bargaining Update #33, Local 1944 is ramping up our activities and campaigns across the country throughout February seeking to conclude a fair Agreement for you, and so we decided to lead off with a video recapping how far we’ve come as a membership in the past year. Take a look:
Your elected Bargaining Committee met the last 2 days of January to begin their preparations for the upcoming round of bargaining. Please take a few moments to fill in the attached survey so that the Committee can best represent you at the bargaining table.
We have met with the employer committee twice so far this year and have finally seen their wage package. As you can imagine, it was insulting and contained nothing to address the financial impacts of the past couple of years.
