    IFA Starting Wage Increase Winnipeg Finance

    ByAdmin

    Dear Brothers and Sisters,

    Earlier today, Air Canada informed the Union that, given the difficulty in hiring and retaining new staff in the Winnipeg Finance Branch, as per Article 5.02 of the CBA, they will be increasing the starting wage of new hires and current employees who are below step 5 to step 5 of the 2022 IFA wage scale. Please see below excerpt from the CBA.

    5.02 The Company, at its discretion, may commence a newly hired permanent or temporary-term employee at any published rate within the wage scale of the classification into which the employee was hired, but not in excess of the maximum published rate of the classification.

    As we are in agreement with members receiving higher wages, this will only impact members currently below a step 5 and new hires. This move will not impact any other current members financially; however, we are hopeful that this will help the company attract and hire new members and finally start to ease the workloads for all members. This was the sole decision of company to make this call, we have no control over this decision. Recent benchmarking against other companies in the Winnipeg area showed that Air Canada’s starting wages are no longer competitive. While we understand not everyone will be in agreement with this move by the company, the Collective Agreement does allow for it. Rest assured your Union will be seeking competitive wage increases across the board when the contract expires in 2026.

    In Solidarity,

    Bulletin-003 – Air Canada Finance – New CLC Sick Policy

    ByAdmin

    Dear Brothers and Sisters,
    Recently, your Committee of General Chairpersons met with Air Canada Labour Relations to discuss
    changes to the sick leave provisions of the Canada Labour Code (CLC).
    Members are advised that the new sick leave provisions of the CLC have been integrated into the legacy
    sick leave provisions contained in our Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
    Under the CLC, federally regulated employees are entitled to accrue up to ten (10) paid sick days per
    calendar year. As of January 1, 2023, employees were allocated three (3) paid sick days and will further
    accrue one (1) day of paid sick leave per month up to a maximum of ten (10) days per calendar year.
    For 2024 and subsequent years, one (1) paid day of sick leave per month will be accumulated as of
    January 1st, up to the maximum of ten (10) paid days per calendar year. Unused CLC sick days will be
    carried over into subsequent years up to the maximum of ten (10) sick days per calendar year.
    Note that CLC paid sick days do not count as occurrences under LOU 10.04 of the CBA and are not
    subject to the associated penalties or time windows, but your legacy collective agreement rights
    remain intact.
    Starting January 1, 2023, Members accessing sick days will have their accumulated CLC sick
    bank debited first. If/once the CLC bank is exhausted, any additional sick days will be applied in
    accordance with the existing (CBA) legacy sick leave provisions.
    The CLC states that employers may request medical substantiation for absences lasting five (5) days
    or longer. At this time Air Canada has not advised of any amendments to their Attendance
    Management Policy.
    In solidarity,
    Dave Flowers
    President & Directing General Chairperson
