Holiday Message from CUPE 4070
Dear Members,
As the holiday season is upon us, CUPE Local 4070 extends well wishes to each of you, and your loved ones for a safe and happy holiday season and all the best for 2021.
As we know this year has been a challenging and tough year for all our Members, across all three airlines, Swoop, WestJet Encore, and WestJet. As we deal with this pandemic, which has affected our airline industry, we have many Members still furloughed and awaiting to be recalled, to them we want to say your Union family is working hard to bring you back, and ensures you that you’re not forgotten. We know many of our Members will also be spending these holidays alone due to this ongoing pandemic, to them we want to say your Union family stands by you.
During this pandemic and this holiday season, our work is something to be especially proud of, as we deal with the challenges and ongoing changes that come our way during these unpredictable times. As we all work together to create a safe work environment for our Members and guests, please stand proudly as CUPE 4070 Members knowing that your Union stands by the value and impact of your important work.
In 2020, together, we have all worked hard and continued to build our Union, and we can reflect proudly on what we have achieved this year.
Providing strong, independent Union representation in employee meetings every day across 5 bases.

Throughout 2020, it has been an exceptional privilege to represent every single one of our Members. The Executive of CUPE 4070 must acknowledge all of the Committee Members, Shop Stewards, Mobilizers and Trustees whose tireless work and effort make this Union function. We look forward to moving our Union successfully towards 2021. Thank you for your dedicated faith, support, and engagement in your Union. Our strength to remain united, in solidarity, for fair collective agreements, fair and safe working conditions and respect of our Employer in the year ahead.
Have a safe Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
In Solidarity,
Your CUPE 4070 Executive Team
