Air Canada IAM Technical Operations Sub-Committees Gear Up for 2026 Negotiations

This week, the Air Canada District 140 Technical Operations Sub-Committees convened at the William W. Winpisinger (W3) Training Center to advance preparations for upcoming 2026 negotiations.

Our AME, GSE, and Technical Other Sub-Committees dedicated the week to reviewing member surveys, developing proposals, and setting agendas for the negotiations. I am extremely proud of the commitment and hard work demonstrated by every committee member. Each Sub-Committee developed craft-specific proposals to best represent our members’ interests,” said Keith Aiken, IAM Air Transport Coordinator in Canada.

This session follows earlier preparation meetings, including a full Sub-Committee session in January and an Airports Sub-Committee session in September.

We are confident and well-prepared,” added Aiken. “We look forward to entering the 2026 negotiations ready to secure an industry-leading agreement for our Air Canada members.”
