Swoop February Layoff Notice #2

Dear Members,

We write to advise you that Swoop management has informed the Union of further required layoffs, effective February 16, 2021. These additional 36 furloughs are a result of the Government of Canada requesting cancellation of all flights to Mexico and the Caribbean until at least April 30, 2021.

As announced by Inflight leadership, layoffs will occur in both the YEG and YHM/YYZ bases as follows:

YEG base: 18 layoffs

YHM/YYZ base: 18 layoffs

Active Members who are impacted can expect an email to your Corporate email on Tuesday February 9th informing you of your layoff, and containing full details.

As with previous job reductions, these layoffs will be assigned by date-of-hire (DOH) reverse seniority within your base. Please be assured that your Union is involved in this process at every step of the way.

Due to the extremely short time frame between this announcement and it’s necessary effective date, the Employer is not able to offer voluntary layoffs for this furlough.

Should you have questions regarding the February 16, 2021 involuntary layoffs, please first contact your direct leader and/or leadership team. Should you need further assistance from the Union, please contact us at www.cupe4070.ca/contact.


In Solidarity,
Your CUPE 4070 Executive Team
