Aeroplan: Posting for Pension Communication Representatives

November 17, 2015 at 8:30 AM

The Aeroplan Pension Communication Representative positions are appointed for a three-year term in accordance with the Unifor Local 2002 Bylaws. As the current term is coming to a close, the two positions are being posted.
  • One (1) Unifor Plan member is required from the Vancouver (YVR) office
  • One (1) Unifor Plan member is required from the Montreal (YUL) office and should be bilingual (French & English) for communication purposes
Although the experience and training garnered over the years can make an incumbent invaluable, the bylaws require us to post this position every three years because it serves as a review of the position, gives transparency to the process and allows the Local to do its due diligence.
