Negotiations between Unifor Local 2002 and Air Canada Mainline continue, and the employer has been responding fairly. Earlier this week, we presented additional monetary items for consideration, and we are continuing to negotiate at the table.
We have heard from many of you regarding what you would like to see reflected in a new collective agreement and we are determined to continue negotiating until we can achieve the compensation you rightfully deserve.
While it is not our experience, we understand the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAMAW) has come to a roadblock in their negotiations and has filed for conciliation. We stand with our IAMAW brothers and sisters in their fight for a new contract for their membership.
Make no mistakes we are NOT in the same situation, and our talks are ongoing.
We all thank you for your continued support. The strength and unity you have shown sends a clear message to the employer that our members stand together – and that unity is our greatest asset at the bargaining table.
We will continue to keep you informed every step of the way with future bargaining updates issued from unifor2002.org as well from Unifor Local 2002 e-news messaging. If you have not already subscribed to e-news, please do so via the link below.
