Air Canada, ZIP and the Air Canada Component of CUPE Reach Agreement on
Flight Attendants
TORONTO, Sept. 11 /CNW/ - Air Canada, ZIP AIR Inc. and the Air Canada
Component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) today announced
that they had reached a tentative agreement relating to flight attendants
working at ZIP. This agreement, which must be ratified, will form part of the
Air Canada/CUPE collective agreement currently under negotiation.
Until then, the terms of the agreement remain confidential.
Pending ratification, CUPE will ask the Canada Industrial Relations Board
(CIRB) to adjourn its common employer application.
Under the terms of this agreement the previously announced lay-off of
permanent cabin personnel will be mitigated.
ZIP will launch on September 22, 2002 with CUPE-represented cabin
personnel. The wholly owned subsidiary of Air Canada will offer low fare, high
value service between Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg.
