BTS Associates: Looking back on our campaign thus far

It’s been a long road to getting BTS Associates certified as a bargaining unit within Unifor.

There were attempts made to hinder our campaign, security guards were installed to restrict our access and associates were suddenly tempted with unheard of raises, all in an effort to dissuade the the them from joining.

We’re happy to say the Associates staid the course and persisted in their goal of having a voice with this employer.

We’re looking forward to negotiating their first ever collective agreement in the coming months.

In the meantime, these flyers from our campaign highlight some of the key reasons this is a positive direction for these workers.

BTS Associates: Certification Application is Approved

It has been both a privilege and an honour to accompany the BTS Associates on their journey to become unionized in Ontario.

I was inspired to hear their personal stories and witness their sheer will to push forward.

I want to see them gain full representation; I want them to have fair compensation; and most importantly, I want them to know that they can support themselves and their families without fear of termination for demanding equality.

The application for certification has been approved and we are now determining our next steps.  Although this process is still far from over, we have conquered the biggest hurdle.

The coming months will be very exciting and I look forward to continuing the journey together.

Thanks,
