Membership Letter:
\nDistrict 140 Supervision <\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

Dear IAM District 140 Family,<\/p>\n

As a member of Canada\u2019s largest and most powerful airline union, the IAM, you have a right to expect world-class\u00a0representation. And while our long-standing solidarity and strength have gotten us to this point, it has become clear in my\u00a0visits with you \u2013 our proud membership \u2013 that more needs to be done to move us toward a brighter future.<\/p>\n

Today, I am proud to announce that we are taking significant steps toward ensuring the good and welfare of our District 140\u00a0membership<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Upon approval from the IAM Executive Council and in accordance with the IAM Constitution, we are placing District 140\u00a0under supervision<\/strong><\/span>. This is an internal process within our union that allows us to assist the District in serving our membership.\u00a0It does not<\/strong><\/span> remove any officers, make any changes to district or local elections, or change any financial operations of the\u00a0district.<\/p>\n

Our goals, which come directly from meetings with our membership, are the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

Informing Our Membership<\/strong><\/span>
\nEnsure communication is flowing at all levels of our organization and making it to the shop floor.\u00a0Our members have a right to transparent, consistent communication.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mobilization for Bargaining<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe must be united as we head toward critical bargaining with Air Canada and other employers.\u00a0We will only succeed if we are together as one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Structural Improvements<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe heard from you that you feel the District structure is not serving the best interests of our membership.\u00a0We will examine our bargaining committees and District board structure to ensure our members are being heard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Real Representation<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe must ensure that every region and workgroup has a strong voice in our union.\u00a0This is a union that serves all members.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top-to-Bottom Review<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe will review all District processes, including our bylaws, and make changes that put the members first.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of these actions are being taken with the good and welfare of you \u2013 the membership \u2013 at the forefront. We look forward\u00a0to continuing to keep you informed as we move District 140 into the brighter future that every member deserves.<\/span><\/p>\n

In solidarity,<\/span><\/p>\n
