IMPORTANT MESSAGE
TO ALL IAMAW MEMBERS
EXCLUSITIVITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN AIR CANADA AND TRANSAT A.T. INC.
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
As you may be aware through the various forms of media, Air Canada has
publicly announced that it has entered into an exclusivity agreement to
purchase Air Transat A.T. Inc.
As expected with such announcements, there are more questions than answers
at this time. However, Air Canada has agreed to meet with IAM Representatives
in order to keep the lines of communications open.
The IAM represents Members working for both companies and we intend to respect
the Members Collective Agreement rights throughout this process.
The IAMAW will be monitoring this matter carefully and as further information
becomes available, it will be communicated to the affected Members.
In solidarity,
Fred Hospes
President & Directing General Chairperson
