Jazz CSA/ACS: Base Membership Meetings Update

Jazz CSA/ACS: Base Membership Meetings Update

UNIFOR

  

In August 2021, your Unifor 2002 Bargaining Committee met virtually to begin preparations to negotiate a new Collective Agreement. After extensive internal conversations, the Committee created and distributed a membership survey that would provide the Union direction and a clear mandate as to what components would formulate the new contract.

With all of the survey results received, your Unifor Committee members set out on a cross country base tour to meet with members and review the results of these surveys and also discuss current workplace issues and concerns.

During week one of these base meetings, the Committee met with Load and Departure Control Centre (DCC) in Halifax, followed by Deer Lake, and finally to Gander for a late afternoon meeting on November 11th. These first set of meetings were constructive and well attended by Unifor members. There was much feedback on what the membership would like to see in the next contract; what is working and what members would like to see altered.

In week two, the Committee began the first run of the Pacific region, meeting with members in Penticton, Kamloops and Kelowna. Additional base meetings continue next week in the Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec.

With over 40 bases spread out across Canada, and more passengers traveling with limited flights, Unifor will be extending the base tour into 2022. For now, stay united and stay informed as negotiations will officially begin next year. The current Unifor/Jazz CSA-ACS collective agreement will expire on January 13, 2022.
