The Engineering Department at Voyageur Aviation in North Bay, ON, ratified their very first collective agreement after joining the IAM Union in January. Following several bargaining sessions with the employer, members voted in favour of the offer.
The new agreement delivers meaningful gains for the members, including increased vacation, enhanced training opportunities, significant initial wage increases, and a structured wage scale moving forward.
International Representative Scott Jackson highlighted the impact of the agreement, stating, “The agreement provides these new members with an increase to vacation, training opportunities, significant initial wage increases and a wage scale going forward.”
International Representative Neil Giroux praised the commitment of Mohammed Mansour, a member who assisted in negotiations, noting, “Mohammed was indispensable and relentless in ensuring that we got the best deal possible for his co-workers.”
The IAM proudly welcomes its newest members, who play a vital role in engineering and project management at Voyageur Aviation.
