Negotiations Between Air Canada and ACPA Continue; Business as Usual for
Customers
MONTREAL, May 30 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada will continue negotiations
over the week-end with the Air Canada Pilots Association (ACPA) with the
objective of concluding an agreement prior to midnight Saturday, May 31 in
compliance with the direction of Mr. Justice James Farley of the Superior
Court of Justice of Ontario.
Should an agreement not be reached by the court-imposed deadline, the
parties have been directed to appear before Mr. Justice Farley at
8:00 a.m. EDT Sunday June 1 to obtain further direction from the Court.
During this time, Air Canada wishes to reassure it's customers that its
business as usual with all flights operating as scheduled.
Air Canada has reached tentative agreements relating to labour cost
realignment in CCAA with all its unions except ACPA. At 11:00 a.m. EDT today,
ACPA tabled a proposal to the company in respect to its contribution to the
labour realignment. ACPA's proposal provided temporary wage cuts but did not
include the necessary productivity improvements. The proposal was
significantly below the required target for this labour group and it could not
be accepted as it would have placed in jeopardy the recently completed
tentative agreements with the other eight unions at Air Canada and Air Canada
Jazz.
