Solidarity and Support for Air Transat Flight Attendants
Dear Members,
We are reaching out to share an important development within the Flight Attendant community that warrants our collective attention. The flight attendants at Air Transat have recently voted against their second tentative agreement and, for the second time, have given a strike mandate of 85%.
In light of this, we wish to extend a formal message of solidarity and unwavering support to our colleagues at Air Transat. Their resolute stance underscores a shared commitment to fair and equitable Collective Agreement. As members of the broader flight attendant community, we recognize the significance of just compensation and acknowledge the challenges faced by our peers.
It is noteworthy that we, as a Union, stand at a crucial juncture, being barely 12 months away from the establishment of our own bargaining committee for the WS Unit and in 18 months our WR Unit is.
The path ahead will involve discussions and negotiations that mirror the challenges faced by Air Transat flight attendants. Their experience serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of unity and collective action in advocating for fair working conditions.
As we stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Air Transat, let us remain mindful of our own journey and the challenges that lie ahead. The dedication of each member contributes to the strength of our collective voice, reinforcing the importance of fair treatment and equitable compensation.
