Your component is celebrating 32 years of history!<\/p>\n

32 years of unity, solidarity and common struggle! The goal has always been to improve our working conditions and protect our rights!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are some concrete examples of the collective \u00a0power of the group and of your union over the past 32 years<\/p>\n

Before unionization, there were no rules on issues such as how many hours we could fly in a given month or even a limit of our day on duty!<\/p>\n

Since November 1992, your various union executives have negotiated six collective agreements. In each agreement we have made significant gains such as:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2013 Blocks of flying hours between 65h and 85h per month, with a maximum of 95 hours\/month.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Our monthly hours are guaranteed!<\/p>\n

\u2013 The duty day limit has been reduced\u2026 Yes! Reduced to 14 scheduled hours, with an absolute maximum of 16h. Some will remember the 18h\u00a0absolute maximum in the 1990\u2019s!<\/p>\n

\u2013 Significant wage gains over the years. We started at about $17.00 per flight hour, and now the salary can go up to a maximum of $74,56 after 10 years of service.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Premiums for overtime on duty (did not exist before).<\/p>\n

\u2013 Creation of 16 weeks of preventive leave to support our pregnant flight attendants.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Implementation of the MSPP (pension fund created by CUPE)<\/p>\n

\u2013 Reduction of the RSV period from 24 hours to AM or PM<\/p>\n

\u2013 Improved protection for hotel zones +20h<\/p>\n

\u2013 Secured Crewseat for flights over 7h long and\/or leaving after 10pm from Canada<\/p>\n

More recently, your union, with your support, flatly refused the major cuts to our working conditions that the employer wanted to impose on us just a year ago. Remember that the employer\u2019s plan was to cut our wages by 10%, reduce our crew complement, every clause that had monetary value was targeted!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were able to fight off these demands because of the strength of your union.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t say it enough, more than ever we must stay united and continue our quest for better working conditions. Reduce fatigue rotations, improve our rest areas and without further delay have a strong job protection clause.<\/p>\n
