    Le 27 novembre 2020 - L’élection de votre comité de négociation a été effectuée et les votes ont été comptés. Tel que communiqué précédemment, nous avons annoncé que vous, les membres de Telus, feriez partie intégrante de la sélection de votre comité et ce d’une toute nouvelle manière. Un membre – un vote. Que vous, les membres, décideriez collectivement. Nous nous sommes assurés que chaque province et chaque classification soient représentées de façon équitable, en nous basant sur le nombre de membres attribué dans chacune des provinces. Ce faisant, nous avons conçu l’approche « silo ». De plus, nous vous avions informé que deux membres du Bureau seraient choisis par la Présidente par intérim afin de compléter le comité. En tant que Présidente par intérim, j’ai sollicité des volontaires parce que je considère (et je pense que vous serez tous d’accord) que personne ne devrait être obligé de faire quoi que ce soit qui ne serait pas compatible avec sa vie privée à un moment donné. Un dirigeant s’était déjà porté candidat à l’élection pour représenter son silo et avait été acclamé, Robert Briza. J’ai été très heureuse de constater que deux autres dirigeants voulaient assumer les responsabilités supplémentaires et en plus d’être un dirigeant, endosser également les pressions additionnelles liées à la position de membre du comité. Comme toujours et conformément à nos Règlements, le (la) Président (e) assume le rôle de porte-parole principal (e) du comité. Cette prochaine ronde de négociation bénéficiera également de l’aide et des ressources significatives, et de la présence des Métallos, suite à une demande formelle que j’ai adressée il y a quelque temps. Nous sommes en discussion constante et continue en ce qui a trait à la logistique, aux tactiques et autres principes fondamentaux pour assurer des négociations réussies, et nous commençons la préparation de ce travail bien avant la date d’expiration de notre convention collective le 31 décembre 2021.

    J’ajoute également que tous les postes soumis au vote, à l’exception du poste d’usine en C.-B., ne comptaient que deux candidats, ce qui signifie que si pour une raison quelconque, le premier membre élu est dans l’incapacité de terminer son mandat au sein du comité de négociation, l’intérimaire (finaliste) prendra sa place. Pour l’élection du poste d’usine en C.-B., le suppléant est Brent Armstrong. Pour toutes les acclamations – c’est-à-dire qu’il n’y avait pas d’autre candidat – dans le cas où le membre élu serait dans l’incapacité de terminer son mandat, un autre membre du même silo serait nommé par le (la) Président (e). Enfin, je tiens à remercier tous ceux et celles qui ont proposé leurs candidatures. De tous les comités et postes auxquels les membres peuvent se présenter, le comité de négociation est celui qui demande le plus d’altruisme. Il faut beaucoup de force et de courage, de détermination et de passion et, si j’ose...

    November 27 - The election for your bargaining committee has taken place and the votes counted. As previously communicated, we announced that you, the Telus members, would be an integral part in the selection of your committee in a brand new way. One member – one vote. You the members would decide collectively. We made sure that each province and each classification would be fairly represented, based on the applicable number of members in any one province. In doing so, we designed the ‘silo’ approach. Additionally, we informed you that two Board members would be selected by the Acting President to round out the committee. As Acting President, I canvassed for volunteers because I believe (and I think you all would agree) no one should be forced to do anything that wouldn’t fit with their lives at any given moment. I had one Officer already running in the election to represent his silo and was acclaimed, Robert Briza. I was very pleased to see that another two Officers indeed wanted to take on the added responsibilities of not only being an Officer but also the added pressures of being on the committee. As always, the President sits per our ByLaws as the chief spokesperson on behalf of the committee. This next round will indeed also see significant help, resources and presence by the larger Union per a formal request I had made to them some time ago. We are in constant and ongoing discussion with respect to logistics, tactics and other fundamentals to ensure a successful round of negotiations, and we are laying this groundwork well ahead of the expiry of our Collective Agreement on December 31, 2021.

    I should also add that all elections except for BC Plant had only two members competing which means that if for whatever reason the first elected member is unable to complete their bargaining committee duties the alternate (runner up) will take their place. For the election in BC Plant, the alternate is Brent Armstrong. Where there were acclamations – meaning there wasn’t a contest – in the event that the elected member is unable to complete the term, another member from that silo would be appointed by the President. Finally, I want to thank everyone who put their name forward. Of all the Committees and positions one could put themselves forward for, the most selfless one is the Bargaining Committee. It takes great strength and courage, determination and passion, and dare I say, love for your Union to put yourself out there. Your activism and desire to make your Union and workplaces better is notable and on behalf of the Executive Board, I thank you. Allow me to now introduce to you your complete bargaining committee.

    Elected:

    Telus Bargaining - BC Plant Position
    Matt Rizzo
    Brent Armstrong (alternate)

    Telus Bargaining - BC Clerical/Traffic Position
    Candace Knoll
