Recall Notice – (WR) WestJet Encore Members - November 2021

Dear Members,

The Union has been advised by the Company of recalls to active status for Members currently on furlough; effective November 1, 2021 for the YYZ base (YYC base recall list has been exhausted).

Recall will occur based on the Company Service Lists that are published by base – the same lists that were used to determine those who were placed on furlough, and will be completed senior to junior. These lists are available after log-in to the Member Portal at www.cupe4070.ca. Work towards the Master Seniority List (MSL) will be underway shortly; and once the MSL is in place the Company Service List(s) will be replaced by the MSL. The Union will communicate this with you in advance.

This recall will see:

-  Approximately five (5) to ten (10) CCMs recalled in YYZ 

This recall is being executed under Article 47-5.05 of the Collective Agreement (CA):

To determine if you are eligible for recall as of November 1, 2021:

1)   Check the personal email account that you have most recently registered with the Company related to your inactive status.

2)   Ensure to check your ‘spam/junk’ folder, just in case.

As indicated, this recall is being executed under Article 47-5.05 of the CA and Members eligible for recall will have only 48 HOURS to accept a recall should they desire. The Company has advised the Union that recall notices will go out later today; Wednesday September 29, 2021.

Ability to decline recall:
As per the Collective Agreement: if you are senior enough to hold recall, and recall is offered to you; you may elect to decline the recall and await recall in the future should it occur. You may opt to decline any recall until such time as there are no other Members junior to you on your base’s Company Service List, at which time a decline to recall would be the end of your employment. You will be notified in the Notice of Recall, if this is the case.

The Union and the Company continue to work together cooperatively towards recalling Members that have been placed on furlough as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are pleased to see continued recall at WestJet Encore.

Please contact the Union should you have further questions via our contact link: www.cupe4070.ca/contact.

In Solidarity,
Your CUPE 4070 Executive Team
