FINAL DOMINO TO FALL: Air Canada settles with its last major union

Air Canada says workers in its technical operations, maintenance and operational support group have ratified their new contract. The airline says it now has new collective agreements with all of its major unions following the expiration of the previous long-term contracts.

With six new collective agreements ratified at Air Canada this year, Air Canada chief executive Michael Rousseau says the airline is well-positioned to advance its strategic plans.

The latest contract covers 11,000 employees represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.

The four-year collective agreement is retroactive to April 1 and will run until March 31, 2030.

Other agreements this year include the airline’s 170 Finance employees (IAMAW), 115 Clerical employees (IAMAW), approximately 6,000 Customer Service employees (Unifor), 100 Flight Operations Crew Schedulers (Unifor), and 90 In-Flight Crew Schedulers (Unifor).
