TO ALL IAMAW MEMBERS WORKING FOR AIR CANADA
Sky Regional Airlines
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
On March 13, 2013, Air Canada officially advised Transportation District 140 of the IAMAW that it has been awarded, by Sky Regional, a two (2) year ground handling contract to perform ramp functions that our members currently perform.
In addition, Air Canada advised the Union that cabin grooming is not included in the Sky Regional contract and that, effective March 14, 2013, our members will no longer perform this work.
Transportation District 140 has always maintained the position that the Sky Regional work belongs to our bargaining unit members and we continue to maintain this position.
Please be advised that your Union has not made any agreement with Air Canada to give up this work. In fact, your Union is currently reviewing all options to protect this work within our Air Canada bargaining units, as this work rightfully belongs to our members.
In solidarity,
Tony Didoshak
General Chairperson, Western Region District 140, IAMAW
BULLETIN NO. 036 – ISSUED MARCH 15, 2013
