Moving our bargaining agenda forward
Your committee had a productive couple of days as
we moved our bargaining agenda forward. We fully expect talks to ramp up next
week as we begin bargaining in depth.
Record cold temperatures and staff
shortages continue to take their toll on airport operations, creating flight
delays and cancellations, long line ups and frustrated passengers. We would like
to thank all of the caring and dedicated employees working at airports, call and
journey management centres who tirelessly and professionally assist Air Canada’s
customers on their travels. It is your professional expertise that makes Air
Canada a multi-award winning airline.
The
company’s desire to change certain components of our long standing practice of
shift trading continues to concern our membership. In spite of repeated
promises, Air Canada has yet to officially address the issue in the workplace,
creating much consternation. Given that Air Canada says that this issue is a
priority, their lethargic response to communicate the issues are somewhat
confusing.
And frustrating for our members!
The priority of your
committee is to continue to keep you informed as much as is possible as we
progress through these negotiations.
In solidarity,
YOUR AIR CANADA BARGAINING COMMITTEE,
Veronica Kelly, Pacific region
Joanne Goulet, Western region

Galambosy, Chairperson - Central region
Benoit Lapointe, Eastern region
