This week your bargaining committee met in Montreal with the employer. After a challenging week, we want to reinforce that job security is a top priority for our members.
In-depth discussion on important issues for our members took place, in particular — but not limited to — the following:
- Scope work
- Job security
- Social Media
- Web work
The current collective agreement defines scope work as the following:
CUSTOMER SALES AND SERVICE AGENT
Comprises all those employees who perform direct marketing sales and service functions and passenger sales and service functions including handling telephone contacts with the public, including telephone contacts originating from members in the United States, disseminating information, making reservations, processing reservations messages, assembling reservations data, issuing tickets. CSSA will also comprise of employees who perform the function of Lead Agent & Letter Writer.
As we are still in the early stages of our discussions, there is very little information to release. Dialogue between Unifor and Aeroplan will continue December 9-10-11.
Your bargaining committee is committed to keeping the membership informed as discussions move forward with Aeroplan.
In solidarity,
Your bargaining committee,
Ross McConkey
