days until our Collective Agreement expires, we are preparing, we are united and we will make change.

Bargaining Update

Your ACCEX has concluded the ninety (90) day period of direct bargaining with Air Canada. Unfortunately, an agreement could not be reached at this stage.

We now head into the mediation phase of the 2019 reopener to see if a mediator/arbitrator will be able to bridge the gap between the Company and Union. We are hopeful that with the assistance of a third party we will be able to achieve more for our members.

We thank you for your continued support.

International Human Rights Day

“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home — so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. […] Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.”

– Eleanor Roosevelt

International Human Rights Day is observed every year on December 10th.  It commemorates the day, in 1948, when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights empowers us all.  It is a ground-breaking document declaring the fundamental rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political opinion, nationality, property, birth or other status.

All people are equal and are entitled to the same human rights, and we must challenge the notion that certain groups matter more than others.

Let’s stand up for equality, justice and human dignity!

National Day of Remembrance and Action to End Violence Against Women

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the horrific events at L’Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, when a gunman entered the school, segregated the female students from the male students and began firing at the female engineering students.

On that day, December 6, 1989, 14 young women lost their lives to violence. The event has become known as the Montreal Massacre and is symbolic of the fight to end violence against women. In 1991, Canada’s Parliament declared December 6 a National Day of Mourning and the National Day to End Violence Against Women.

Today we mourn the victims of that tragic day:
Genevieve Bergeron | 21
Helene Colgan | 23
Nathalie Croteau | 23
Barbara Daigneault | 22
Anne-Marie Edward | 21
Maud Haviernick | 29
Barbara Maria Klucznik | 31
Maryse Laganiere | 25 was a CUPE member
Maryse Leclair | 23
Anne-Marie Lemay | 27
Sonia Pelletier | 28
Michele Richard | 21
Annie St-Arneault | 23
Annie Turcotte | 21

While we take this day to remember what happened in Montreal, and commemorate the lives of all women who have been victims of gender based violence, we must continue to work to eliminate violence against women.
