WestJet (WS) Members Ratify First Ever Collective Agreement

Dear WestJet Encore and Swoop Members,


We are excited to report that the WestJet (WS) Members of our Local have ratified their first Collective Agreement with their Employer on Saturday March 20, 2021 following a 24 month negotiation.

All CUPE Local 4070 Members in the WestJet (WS) bargaining unit immediately fall under their binding Collective Agreement (CA).

Full attention of the Local and CUPE National representatives are now focused on obtaining Tentative Agreements at both the Swoop (WO) and WestJet Encore (WR) negotiating tables.

We have added an aggressive schedule of bargaining dates at both tables in the next eight (8) to ten (10) weeks, with the goal of presenting Tentative Agreements to each bargaining unit Membership as quickly as possible, while ensuring the best possible language is negotiated for our working conditions.

Current confirmed dates for bargaining are:

Swoop (WO)
March 23-25, 2021
April 14-16, 2021
May 4-6, 2021
May 18-20, 2021

Please join in congratulating our brothers and sisters from WS in ratification of their very first, historic Collective Agreement. We eagerly await the celebration of reaching the final steps in both the WR and WO Collective Agreements for each bargaining unit.
