CAW Local 2002, representing 3800 workers across the country, are currently in negotiations. Our members at Air Canada have been in major turmoil for many years, largely due to the deregulation of this industry. Air Canada was under CCAA protection some years ago and the company continues to use this as a threat to our members, despite the fact that they are making a profit and have recently announced exorbitant pay raises and bonuses to their CEO Calin Rovinescu.
The Corporation has tabled demands that would see a two-tier pension system which includes a 48 percent cut in the workers’ pension plan for those who remain on the defined benefit plan. In addition, they have tabled demands that would see benefit cuts and significant job loss in the bargaining unit.
The bargaining committee and the membership have had enough and they absolutely deserve our full support as they move to a strike deadline of midnight June 13th. |
