Recall Notice – (WR) WestJet Encore Members - September 2021

Dear Members,


The Union has been advised by the Company of recalls to active status for Members currently on furlough effective September 1, 2021 for the YYZ base (YYC base recall list has been exhausted).

Recall will occur based on the Company Service Lists that are published by base – the same lists that were used to determine those who were placed on furlough, and will be completed senior to junior. These lists are available after log-in to the Member Portal at www.cupe4070.ca.

This recall will see:

-  Approximately eight (8) CCMs recalled in YYZ
In the Memorandum of Agreement agreed to between the Union and the Company, there exist two (2) options for the time-frame of recall and acceptance by the Member. The Company will be executing the ‘Expedited Recall‘ Option 1 as outlined in the MOA (Articles 7 & 8) as the method of recall.

To determine if you are eligible for recall as of September 1, 2021:

1)   Check the personal email account that you have most recently registered with the Company related to your inactive status.

2)   Ensure to check your ‘spam/junk’ folder, just in case.

3)   The Company will provide official recall notice, or contingent recall notice which will be marked in part ‘SHORT NOTICE RECALL’ to that email address.

As indicated, this recall is initially being executed under the ‘Expedited Recall’ and Members eligible for recall will have only 48 HOURS to accept a recall should they desire. The Company has advised the Union that recall notices will go out later today.

Ability to decline recall:
As per the MOU executed between WestJet Encore and CUPE Local 4070, if you are senior enough to hold recall, and recall is offered to you; you may elect to decline the recall and await recall in the future should it occur. You may opt to decline any recall until such time as there are no other Members junior to you on your base’s Company Service List, at which time a decline to recall would be the end of your employment. You will be notified in the Notice of Recall if this is the case.

The Union and the Company continue to work together cooperatively towards recalling Members that have been placed on furlough as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are pleased to see continued recall.

Please contact the Union should you have further questions via our contact link: www.cupe4070.ca/contact.

In Solidarity,
Your CUPE 4070 Executive Team
