Uniform Committee Update

Dear Members, 

We would like to share an update on some of the things we have been working on as your Uniform Committee. Please take a moment to review the following information:  

MATERNITY UNIFORMS 

Expecting members can reach out to uniforms to be provided a maternity uniform as per our agreement CA Reference: 28-2.02 – As required and upon request, the Company will provide a pregnant Cabin Personnel with a new maternity uniform.  

If you, have purchased a new maternity uniform out of your allotment please reach out to uniforms@cupe4070.ca and we will provide you with what do to have the allotment returned to your account.  

WINTER PUFFER JACKETS 

These can now be preordered and once in stock they will be shipped out to the preorders. The sub puffer can be worn under the trench coat instead of the liner and it just as warm as the Puffer jacket when layered together.  You can also wear the sub puffer on its own. Please be aware that you are allowed to wear a personal jacket under the trench if you feel that it is not warm enough.  

No other Jackets personal or previously issued company jackets are to be worn as they are not approved.  

If you have placed an order and it has yet to be shipped, you can reach out to the uniform department, and they are able to look and see as to why it hasn’t been shipped. 

Please refer to the Uniform standards guide for all your uniform standards. If you are ever unsure of a standard reach out to uniforms@westjet.com and/or uniforms@cupe4070.ca for clarification.  

BUYING AND SELLING UNIFORM PIECES 

Please refrain from posting on any Facebook trade pages regarding the buying or selling of any part of the uniform. Doing so violates the Business code of conduct, as the uniform belongs to the company, regardless of any personal investment in its purchase. The Business Code of Conduct can be accessed on SharePoint. 

If you need to exchange a uniform piece, please email uniform.marketplace@westjet.com. They will assist you in finding a suitable exchange, provided the required size is available at the marketplace. 

FEEDBACK ON ISSUES 

While Facebook may serve as a platform to vent frustrations and share concerns, it's essential to remember that official notification regarding uniform issues should be communicated via email to uniforms@cupe4070.ca or through the form on the CUPE4070 website.  

Posting on social media alone does not constitute formal notification. We rely on a documented paper trail to address and resolve any issues effectively as a Union.  

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. 

Respectfully,  

Kendra Thibault – CUPE4070 WS YYC Uniform Rep
