Solidarity rally for Telus call centre workers fighting forced relocation
Members of the labour movement will attend a July 27 rally to support USW Local 1944, employees of Telus, in their struggle against office closures.
Story submitted by USW Sault Ste. Marie:
There was a lot of fun happening at Crimson Ridge on Sunday, August 13, 2023. Golfers and volunteers gathered to participate in the 4th Annual Steelworkers Charity Golf Tournament in support of The Twinkie Foundation.
We are happy to announce that we raised $11,740.35 this year.
The Twinkie Foundation is a local charity that helps Sault Ste. Marie and area families with costs associated with travelling for their child(ren)’s medical treatments and appointments.
The United Steelworkers would like to extend thanks to all the golfers, sponsors and volunteers who helped to make the event such a success.
We would like to give a big shout out to our sponsors:
