Canadian North: Negotiations Update

September 9, 2013 at 8:00 PM

To: All Unifor Local 2002 Members employed at Canadian North
  

We will be going back to the bargaining table with representatives from Canadian North on September 10 and 11, in Calgary Alberta. Your bargaining committee remains cautiously optimistic that we will be able to reach a reasonable collective agreement.

Your Local 2002 Strike Coordinator is:

Sean Smith
E: [email protected]
T: (416) 277-1242


Below you will find the Strike Captains for your base.

  • Gale Runge – Edmonton – Cargo

  • Sam Hawkins – Edmonton – Airport

  • Darla Ashby – Yellowknife – Airport

  • Jeffery Gordon – Yellowknife - Cargo

  • Deanna Shattler – Inuvik – Cargo

  • Keith Lear Cambridge – Airport and Cargo

  • Max Wilkins Iqaluit – Airport

  • Betty Gunn Iqaluit – Cargo


Please contact your strike captain and provide them your telephone number and e-mail address.

Please do not speak to the media, but rather direct your concerns or questions to National Officer, Brother Bruce Snow.

It is very important not to listen to rumours at this point in time; we are aware certain company Supervisors are advising Casuals that they are required to report for work in the event of a dispute. This is not correct, Casuals are members of Local 2002 and in the event of a lock out or strike, Casuals must not report for work.

We will be communicating via BULLETINS with the membership on a regular basis. Do not lose solidarity because of propaganda or fear mongering messages from the company.

The bargaining committee would like to thank the membership at this time for their continuing show of support and solidarity from base to base.

We will report back on the progress of this process.

In the event anyone has any questions about this or negotiations please don’t hesitate to call the undersigned.

  

On behalf of your Negotiation Committee,
Aida Kirameddine
Theresa Amicarelli

  

In solidarity,

Bruce Snow
CAW National Representative
