The Greater Toronto Airport Authority has created
employment chaos at the airport by attacking good jobs and job security.
The GTAA is:
Contracting out. The GTAA has derailed collective
bargaining with Air Canada with a demand to outsource 130 good jobs to a company
that would reduce wages by 50%.
Reducing the quality of service to passengers. By
creating unstable, low wage work for those who provide service to passengers
requiring wheelchair/special assistance, the quality of service can only go
down.
Impoverishing workers. The service providers who do
this work for other airlines at Pearson are not paid much more than minimum
wage.
What the GTAA refuses to do:
Provide job security. Last month nearly 300 Swissport workers were forced into uncertainty after the GTAA ended their
contract, forcing them to re apply for their jobs. If the GTAA has their way
with Air Canada, 130 more workers will join them.
What you can do:
Demand that workers at the GTAA get job security
and fair pay:
Send a message to Howard Eng, GTAA President.
