Toronto, ON – Members of IAMAW Local lodge 2323 have ratified a new collective agreement with Toronto Ground Airport Services (TGAS) by a margin of 80 per cent.
“This was a tough set of negotiations but in the end our members are very pleased with the outcome,” explained IAMAW District Lodge 140 General Chairperson Lou Pagrach.
The new agreement provides wage increases for the three job classifications of between 9 and 22.5 per cent over the four-year period from May 1, 2012 to April 30, 2016. Other agreement highlights include :
• A $125.00 signing bonus
• Benefit improvements
• New night shift premium
The 250 members include dispatchers, lead hands and wheel chair assistants who serve the physically-challenged patrons who use Pearson International Airport and its services.
TGAS, which is a sister company of TBH services and AOSS, will soon change its name to Pearson Airport Logistics.
The IAMAW is the largest union at Pearson International Airport representing workers at Air Canada, Air Transat, Field Aviation, Landmark Aviation, Consolidated Fuels, Innotech Aviation, SmarteCarte, Sky Charter, AOSS, TBH, Servisair, Swissport and Aveos.
