PDF - Notes from Negotes 
Over the past week, your Air Canada bargaining
committee has met several times with the company to exchange revised proposals
and observe presentations. Progress is slow but steady as we work through
contractual language and non-monetary issues.
Your committee continues to take the pulse of our
membership through weekly conference calls with your regional vice presidents.
Please direct any questions and concerns that you may have regarding
negotiations to your elected union representatives. Together we will debunk
rumours and work towards finding solutions.
The company’s proposed shift trade changes are a
hot topic and we have no intention of putting it on the back burner. Time only
brings clarity to this issue as we continue to advance our position towards a
resolution. We are conferring with industry and labour groups across the country
who work within the federal sector and face similar restrictions.
Thank-you to all of our loyal members across the
country in airports and call and journey management centres who proudly wear
their Unifor lanyards to show support for their bargaining committee. As
momentum builds through the negotiation process, so does our solidarity.
Due to scheduling conflicts we are not meeting with
the company on March 9-13. Therefore the next issue of our weekly communication,
Notes from Negotes, will be published on Friday March 20, 2015.
Stay tuned and stay united.
In solidarity,
Your Air Canada Bargaining Committee
