For Immediate Release
Toronto, On – The IAMAW membership employed by Air Canada has narrowly rejected the tentative agreement that was reached in early June, following a week-long voting process across the country.
While Finance and Clerical divisions were overwhelmingly in favour of their collective agreements, the members of Technical Maintenance and Operational Services division – which include heavy and line maintenance mechanics, millwrights, baggage and cargo agents, planners, aircraft groomers and cleaners and electricians – rejected the offer by a margin of 50.8 per cent.
The Union will have internal discussions this week to determine how best to proceed and intends to meet with Air Canada as early as possible to discuss how matters can move forward to a successful conclusion.
