Until this day, the retirement committee (Local 4041) has been operating with only one delegate, Marie Claude Bourdages, focusing on the financial aspect and the performance of the retirement plan.
The social and human aspect (voted at 96% on June 6, 2023) is now added to this committee with the presence of Lucie Verdon and Line Gaboury.
Thank you for your trust!!
Line and Lucie have just enough years of seniority to create a close creative partnership between the union and the employer, and just enough wisdom to be fully involved! All while thinking about creating, determining, and refining the steps of your eventual retirement!
We aim to establish and perfect the retirement program effectively in close collaboration with the employer and the union.
Our involvement is driven by the mission to initially prepare the transition to retirement by developing three currently non-existent aspects.
1.Pre-retirement. At this stage, the future retiree finds themselves at the end of their career and on the threshold of a new life.
A) In the near future, we hope to collaborate on the creation of an information booklet that facilitates the transition to retirement.
B) Create voluntary training sessions for cabin crew members (PNC) who plan to retire within the next 48 months. The training should address the concerns of PNC members, such as psychosocial aspects, finances, health, insurance, and Access-bleu.
2. Retirement. After their career at Air Transat, the retirement of PNC members should be formalized, announced, prepared, and appropriately celebrated. For this purpose, a representative “Vive la retraite” kit is being created. (Shh, it’s a surprise 🎉)
3. Post-retirement. Making the decision to withdraw from the labor market is an important step in life. To celebrate this transition, we are in the process of developing an annual retirees’ happy hour! As we aim to implement this Vive la retraite program at reduced costs but with memorable impact, we will eagerly await your suggestions through an upcoming survey. We look forward to creating a wonderful retirement for all.
