The campaign was unique in trade union movement by its design, its size and implementation. The name of the campaign was “Safe in my Waters!” and as a part of it more then 1000 summer hats with shark face were distributed in streets of Tuzla,Lukavac, Srebrenik and Kalesija. The implementation team was consisted of representatives from Sarajevo office, elected TU representatives in Tuzla region as well as representatives of Youth Section of CTUBIH. They were dressed up as Lions symbolically expressing the force and power of CTUBIH. The campaign took place during the week 29 which formally has been declared as the hottest in the last 50 years. Working in the extremely difficult weather conditions, dressed up as lions and distributing the hats with shark face the team members send the clear and well received the message of the preparedness of CTUBIH to protect their members both in “ground and water”. Together with this, team members distributed the information material of CTUBIH as well as other very attractive material such as balls, pens, sucks etc. As a part of the campaign a survey has been made in all big commerce chains in this canton where team members had to enter under cover and in secret.  The results of the survey will be presented on the Conference on Organizing in autumn.

The campaign attracted lot of attention among the population in the towns where it has been implemented as well as among young people. It also drew the attention of media both printed and electronic and this very important result of improving the image of CTUBIH has already been achieved. The first quantitative results of the campaign as Nedžad Sejdinović, President of Cantonal Structure of CTUBIH has said could be expected late autumn but the quality of the campaign has been already proved by the great number of citizens, young workers in the supermarkets who approach the team members in the parking and on their way back asking for more information and expressing their admiration and positive surprise by this action that is unique in BIH today, especially in the TU movement.
This activity has been for a long time one of the aims of CTUBIH but only now thanks to the support and solidarity of friends from HK Region Agder og Rogoland this has been possible. With this campaign we tried to show the working population in Tuzla, especially to the young people that CTUBIH is modern, youth focused union, determined and capable to offer the service of both protecting their rights and promoting the new spirit of trade unionism.
