Dear Members,


Since the last Bargaining update; Collective Bargaining took place from June 28 - 30 and August 9 - 12, 2021 between the Union and the Company. The Swoop Bargaining Committee is pleased to report that we have now signed off in Tentative Agreement (TA) on forty-two (42) of the planned forty-four (44) Articles.

We have signed off in TA on three (3) more Articles, leaving only the comprehensive monetary package and Scope to be agreed to before negotiations are complete.

The three (3) articles that are most recently signed in Tentative Agreement are:

• Accommodation

• Aircraft and Company Assigned Equipment

• Benefits

To provide Membership with perspective in terms of where we are at in the Collective Bargaining process:

Overall Bargaining Progress (by Articles completed in TA)

*Accurate as of August 20, 2021

Your Swoop Bargaining Committee spent last week bargaining for the comprehensive monetary and financial package, as well as Scope language that will form part of the final TA. Scope language defines our Members’ job scope, and clearly indicates what is expected of a Flight Attendant in the course of their daily duties.

We are pleased to inform you that we believe we are beginning to approach the conclusion of the collective bargaining process. While these final two (2) Articles are significant; and will not be without challenge to negotiate - we do believe that we are on track to likely reach a full Tentative Agreement (TA) to present to the Membership prior to the end of 2021.

The next round of Bargaining for the Swoop Collective Agreement is scheduled for August 23 - 26, 2021. We will update you again following these negotiations.

Bargaining dates are secured into September and are:

August 23 - 26, 2021

September 7 - 9, 2021

September 21 - 23, 2021

As always, if you have questions or require assistance from your union please reach out to us at: www.cupe4070.ca/contact. 

In Solidarity,
Your CUPE 4070 Swoop Bargaining Committee
