Base Announcements January 2023

Dear Members of CUPE 4070, 

As you may have heard by now, WestJet (WS) announced plans to open a YEG base, and Swoop (WO) advised of a YXX base to be opened this year. 

January 18th, was the first time the Employer advised CUPE of these plans to open new bases. 

Your CUPE Executive team expressed a serious message of concern and disappointment to the Employer, that this late advisement, when compared to the notice given to the other labor groups, did not reflect their commitment to good labor relations.  We expressed that the opening of new bases is of significant importance to our membership, and moving forward, the expectation the Union has with the Employer remains the same as always, to have open lines of communication.

The Employer has committed to keeping the Union more informed going forward on changes as significant as this.  

Since then, your CUPE Executive has been in active communication with the Employer, unfortunately as or right now, the only information we have is the same information that has been provided to you. 
We do however, give our full commitment to you, the membership, to communicate more details once they become available to the Union.  We continue to monitor the situation closely.
