Local 2002's fight to protect scope work is sparking workplace actions across
Canada. Members are angry that Air Canada is refusing to honour our current
scope language and worried about what this blatant lack of respect means for
their future.
At 13:30 on May Day, crowds of Air Canada workers in Halifax, St. John's
Newfoundland, Saint John New Brunswick and Montreal were out in force protesting
the erosion of scope work and the elimination of 130 good jobs. Agents in
Winnipeg reservations - clad in red - stood in solidarity at their work stations
at 13:30 EST and later shared a cake emblazoned with the Unifor shield. In
Toronto, ice cream trucks pulled up at the departure level at terminal one at
1:30 and hundreds of workers and passengers gathered outside in the sunshine to
eat cones and celebrate International Workers Day together.
