for safety and association. 

The airline views the current measures as a means of  visionary communication with guests and crew to minimize the  eventuality for stranding and  insure the airline can avoid leaving aircraft in remote  locales.  

The decision to cancel the breakouts comes as WestJet Group awaits a response on behalf of the Canadian Industrial Relations Board( CIRB) to  intermediate under the Canadian LaborCode.

However, this action would  relate WestJet and the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association( AMFA) to arbitration for the first collaborative agreement and  help labor action by either party, If accepted.  

WestJet Airlines President and Group Chief Operating Officer Diederik Pen  verified that the members' decision on the strike was  nearly  amicable to reject the conditional agreement. Pena said  “ Following the members' near- amicable decision to reject a conditional agreement that would have made our Aircraft conservation masterminds the loftiest paid in the nation. 

with a 30 to 40 pay increase in the first time of the proposed agreement, it's clear that the logrolling process has failed. ”  What Trade Unions Are Saying  According to the AMFA- WestJet Accommodations Committee's most recent post on its website. 

on May 10, the AMFA union  linked 2  undetermined issues in the Conditional Agreement( TA) and Memorandum of perpetration Agreement( MOA) related to General Band Employee compensation.  

The first problem is that as of May 1, 2023, WestJet has withheld a  listed 4 pay increase from certain General Band workers –  videlicet, Fleet Engineers, conservation Itineraries, Technicians. educator,Sr.Tech. educator, Sr. Configuration Specialist. Control, Sr. Technology Specialist. Service. 

likewise, MOA provides a 4 retroactive payment to compensate General Band workers for missed  payment increases as well as a 10 retroactive payment to all workers for June 2024. AMFA understands that the 10 retroactive  payment will condense the 4 retroactive  payment for General Band workers. 

else, General Band workers will be  punished for WestJet's unilateral decision to withhold their  listed 4 pay increase.  Alternate, the parties  bandied during accommodations that no worker should  witness a reduction in  stipend as a result of the collaborative agreement. 

The MOA provides that General Band workers will be assigned a pay grade grounded on their times of  nonstop service in that bracket. Although Composition2.3 protects certain General Group workers at  stipend above the top of the scale.

there's no express protection for workers below the toplevel.WestJet failed to misbehave with AMFA's request or  give any response before the AMFA contract ratification roadshow held on May 21- 23.  pitfalls of Outsourcing  also, ahead of the roadshow. 

WestJet told AMFA that it plans to outsource B- Check work  typically done by logrolling unit  workers. This outsourcing was considered a matter of course, and WestJet made no  trouble to involve AMFA before  enforcing its decision unilaterally. 

On May 24, 2024, AMFA President Bret Oestreich wrote to Vice President Gandeephan Ganeshalingam and reiterated the Union's request for critical information  demanded to educate General Band workers prior to the ratification vote. 

AMFA also rejected the outsourcing plan as a violation of its obligation to maintain the status quo as  commanded by the Canadian Labor Code. To avoid  concession in the ratification process, AMFA requested compensation for outsourced work in the  quantum of 910 AME man- hours for fair distribution to its members.  

It wasn't until May 27 that AMFA  entered an dispatch response to its May 10 inquiry.Ms. Correspondence Swindall on 27 May stated  “ Both Sections2.7 and2.9 apply to the position listed in your request. 

The requested data was  preliminarily  handed by Sarah Iverson – on March 15 for positions in  compass at that time and for  fresh positions on April 17(  pay envelope and length of service) and April 29( remaining). 

The Company's position regarding  unborn pay  situations is explained in Composition X – Pay situations. ”  In the eyes of the Bargaining Committee,Ms. Swindall's answer means that the status of the Band General's retroactive pay and  unborn compensation remains uncertain.  

In response to AMFA's outsourcing  expostulations, Ganeshalingam didn't admit the problem of  habitual understaffing and collapse among WestJet's TechOps  workers and failed to respond to AMFA's request that its members be compensated for work  supposed stolen.  

In the coming 48 hours, WestJet Group  blazoned the following cancellations.  Complete cancellation summary  Tuesday, June 18 – Wednesday, June 19  cancellations  guests were affected  WestJet said it's making every  trouble to reaccommodate all affected guests and will continue to manage operations with the loftiest  position of safety.
