Dear CUPE 4070 Members,

Your CUPE 4070 Executive would like to put out this letter of appreciation to all Members of Local 4070 for their hard work and dedication over the holiday peak flying season. Holiday flying has and will always be challenging, but this year, the bar was raised higher than ever before. 

We want all of our Members to know that the stress you were under throughout this holiday season - delays, cancellations, IROP’s, weather, staffing issues, commuting challenges, unruly guests, mask compliance issues, catering shortages, custom holds and wait-times, not to mention all the struggles that come with being in the midst of a pandemic- has not gone unnoticed, nor is it forgotten as we come out on the other side of the holidays, and begin to return to some semblance of "normalcy.”  

While many of these difficulties were unforeseen, it seems a lot of these issues are reminiscent of past holiday seasons. Your Union is looking at strategies that we will attempt to implement, with the objective being to avoid the same issues next holiday season.  

From all of us at 4070, we want to say thank you for your unwavering hard work and dedication in the past month. We understand that it is not easy dealing with the unprecedented challenges that were faced.  We appreciate everything that our Members do, day in and day out. 

We know that the holidays can be hard for many of us, and would like to remind you that there are resources available if you, or someone you know, is struggling:

Thank you.

In Solidarity,
Your CUPE 4070 Executive Team
