TO ALL IAMAW AIR CANADA CLERICAL MEMBERS
RE: FINALIZATION OF THE 2022 OPEN BARGAINING PERIOD
Dear Brothers & Sisters,
At the beginning of the month of February, the Union and the Company met to conclude the 2022 open period of negotiations. This open bargaining period was the last one for this contract that will expire next year in 2026 where after we will return for full contract negotiations.
As this round was primarily to address non-monetary items, the issue that had held the parties back was the question of the pension plan. Now that we have met and concluded discussions, the Union has prepared a summary report and scheduling video conferences for members to come and ask questions and to voice their opinions.
The video conferences will be held March 10th and 12th from 1530-1700, followed by a ratification vote that will be held online on March 14th. To register to vote, you will have to supply a personal email address (do not use a work email address) to your respective negotiation representative.
Lastly, on behalf of District Lodge 140, I would like to take the time to thank your Negotiations Committee, Enzo Borrelli (Montreal 1751), Gina Aquino (Toronto 2323), and Ron Mckelvie (Vancouver 764) who have been tasked with great responsibility and have devoted time away from their friends and families to conclude this agreement on behalf of the membership.
In solidarity,
Guillaume Lingat
General Chairperson
Eastern Region
