The IAM Union (previously known as the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers \u2013 IAMAW) proudly expresses its full support for the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the more than 9,000 flight attendants at Air Canada in their ongoing struggle for a fair and just collective agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe IAM stands shoulder to shoulder with CUPE and Air Canada flight attendants,\u201d <\/em>said David Chartrand General Vice-President of the IAM Union in Canada. \u201cThese workers are the heart of the airline experience. They ensure passenger safety and deliver exceptional service. It\u2019s time for Air Canada to step up and treat them with the dignity and fairness they\u2019ve earned.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The IAM, representing thousands of airline and transportation workers across Canada and North America, believes that strong, united unions are the key to lifting standards across the aviation industry. IAM members understand the power of collective action and the importance of solidarity when one group of workers stands up for their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe urge Air Canada to return to the bargaining table with CUPE and negotiate a fair deal,<\/em>\u201d continued Chartrand. \u201cThis is about more than a contract. It\u2019s about respect, security, and basic human dignity for those who keep our skies safe.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n IAM calls on the public and fellow labour organizations to support CUPE members in their fight. Their struggle is not just for flight attendants\u2014it\u2019s a fight that impacts all workers at Air Canada, the airline industry and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For media inquiries, please contact:<\/strong> The IAM Union (previously known as the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers \u2013 IAMAW) proudly expresses its full support for the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the more than 9,000 flight attendants at Air Canada in their ongoing struggle for a fair and just collective agreement. \u201cThe IAM stands shoulder to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":32357,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[63,61,62],"class_list":{"0":"post-32363","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-news","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-iam","10":"tag-union","12":"post-with-thumbnail","13":"post-with-thumbnail-large"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32363"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32365,"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32363\/revisions\/32365"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/32357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iam140.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
