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

Work Related Expenses Change In Legislation

The Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2 enacted important amendments to the Canada Labour Code many of which came finally into effect on July 9, 2023. There is a requirement for the reimbursement of reasonable work-related expenses.

We have been examining this legislation in conjunction with legal counsel.  We have also liaised with our CUPE researchers to determine the practice for other airlines.  A survey has been created so that we can conduct a more in-depth inquiry into workplace realities.  We ask that you take a few moments to fill out this survey and to provide your feedback.  We will compile all the results and once again consult with legal counsel to determine our next steps.  Thank you to all members in advance for those that take the time to participate in the survey.
