WestJet Encore Non-Monetary MOA
Dear WestJet Encore Members,
We are presenting you with a Memorandum of Agreement as per Article 8-1.05 of the WestJet Encore Collective Agreement:
"8-1.05 The Parties acknowledge that due to this being a first Collective Agreement, there may be instances in which the Parties need to review and amend language in the Collective Agreement. It is also understood that any amendments must be with the agreement of both Parties and shall be of ‘net-zero’ financial cost to the Company. In January of each year, either Party may request a meeting to discuss issues as pursuant to this Article."
As implementation of our first ever Collective Agreement continues, it is recognized that we are likely to identify areas where some changes may be advantageous. The Union and Company met on several occasions, and negotiated several non-monetary changes, or ‘net-zero’, to wording and articles in the CA; to address the needs of both WestJet Encore Members and the Company. Attached you will find the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Union and the Company resulting from these recent negotiations.
