Tell Air Canada to respect the law
Source: CUPE

Air Canada has announced plans to terminate more than 629 flight attendants and permanently close its flight attendant bases in Halifax and Winnipeg.

Meanwhile, Robert Milton and Air Canada President Montie Brewer are trying to enlist the federal government as a partner in this venture.

Air Canada has asked Ottawa for a special exemption from the law so the airline can short change the flight attendants who will lose their jobs.

Air Canada believes that a family flight pass is adequate compensation for the loss of a job with no possibility of recall for employees with as much as 30 years of service.

Please take a moment to urge Ottawa to turn down this request. Visit http://cupe.ca/action/respect-the-law.

Please take action right away. A decision on Air Canada’s request is due any day now. Once you have sent your message, please forward this note to your friends and contacts.
