Re: Make S#!t Better Campaign Launch – Access and Conditions of Workplace Washrooms

We will launch the Make S#!t Better campaign on July 8th. The campaign will have several stages. The first is a survey of members to learn about access and conditions of washroom facilities in their workplaces. This first part of the campaign is important for us to understand the issues impacting members in the District.

This survey will be completely anonymous. We will not share anyone’s stories without their explicit consent. The campaign website and survey will open on July 8, 2024. Further stages will be announced at the District 3 Conference in Winnipeg, October 28-31, 2024. Feel free to reach out with any concerns or questions.

In solidarity,

Scott Lunny
