DAYS SINCE WE BEGAN THE BARGAINING PROCESS. WE ARE UNITED AND WE WILL MAKE CHANGE.

Bargaining Committee Update – 36

Lisa Raymond on August 16, 2025

For right now, you are on strike, until your Union communicates otherwise.

The only exception to this is if you are operating back to Home Base. That is the only time you need to deal with the company.

Globe is not something to be checking at this time, you are not required to answer your phone, and again, you are on Legal Strike at this time. Do not worry if you are being assigned a flight from home base, there is no operation at this time. Do not answer your phone until the strike concludes and a contract is either extended or in place.

We remind you that there is no collective agreement in place and there is no obligation for you to report to work or communicate with Air Canada. 

In solidarity,

Your Bargaining Committee
