CLC Changes – Bill C-63 & C-86

Dear Member, 

As some of you may be aware the federal government has set September 1, 2019 as the coming into force date for a number of amendments to the Canada Labour Code. These amendments are contained in Bill C-63: https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/bill/C-63/royal-assent

and Bill C-86:  https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/bill/C-86/royal-assent

Bill C-63 and C-86 are complex and contain, among other things, various changes to employment standards for Federally regulated employees which include:

·       Leaves of Absence provisions

·       Statutory Holiday and Vacation entitlements

·       Working Conditions

Air Canada has sent out the following FAQ – CLC changes document, to view CLICK “HERE”. We have been consulting with legal counsel and our many resources to carefully analyse these changes and the potential effects they would have on the working lives of our members.  It is complex and we will work carefully to ensure that we can achieve the best possible outcome for the membership.  

We will keep you updated as we move through this process.
