NorTerra has hired Mercer Health and Benefits to assist them in managing/administrating the Sunlife Benefit Plan. The Sunlife plan provides extended insurance coverage to CAW members at Air NorTerra. Mercer has recommended changes to the existing Sunlife benefit insurance plan. The CAW met with Mercer and Air NorTerra management on June 15 to discuss their proposed changes. In attendance for the CAW were Joanne Reid-Dixon (Executive Vice-President), Sherry Hodgson (District Chairperson), Aida Kirameddine (Vice-Chairperson) and Ron DiPasquale (Executive Assistant – West).

The CAW will be taking some time to study the Company’s proposals at which time they will be shared with the membership. Article 19.01 of the collective agreement states that “benefits provided under the terms of the [insurance] Plans will not be amended without the consent of the Union.” Members at Air NorTerra can rest assured the CAW will make a decision on benefits that is in their best long term interest.
